Re: Advent 4213 - ubuntu realtek wifi driver

@anomaly, prob better to compile the native linux driver in ubuntu instead of using ndiswrapper...

1. download the driver on to your desktop from:-

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185338...28.2008.tar.gz

2. open a terminal (applications-->accessories-->terminal)

3. in the new terminal window type in the following to install all the tools required to compile the driver:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
4. cd into your desktop:
cd ~/Desktop

5. extract the archive:
tar -xvf rtl8187se_linux_26.1023.0928.2008.tar.gz
6. cd into extracted folder:
cd rtl8187se_linux_26.1023.0928.2008
7. compile the driver:
sudo sh ./makedrv
8. Onced compiledl, run the following to install:
sudo sh ./install
NOTE: the default install script reboots your 4213 as part of the install!

9. once rebooted, check network manager icon to see that the wireless card has been started, then proceed to connect to your wifi!
