Cannot Connect to WIFI: Realtek RTL8188CE

***I AM RUNNING UBUNTU 14.04 FROM A FLASH DRIVE***
I previously tried to install ubuntu, but could not resolve an issue with my wireless (my wireless sofware switch was not supported)

On Toshiba Satellite L630-Bt2N15 and am unable to connect to my home wifi, while running from the USB. I can select a network from a list of wifi connections and it attempts to connect, but eventually tells me it is unable to connect. My router isn't having any issues as far as I can tell. Booting with windows I am not having issues and my phone connects fine. Ethernet connection works just fine.

Looking around the forums I was unable to find a solution to my issue.


One thread asked a user to run this code:

Code:

---

lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

---

The results:

Code:

A sticky post asked for the attached output. The same post lead me to a page that let me know my wireless hardware IS compatible
************EDIT: After completing a clean install of Ubuntu I was able to get wireless to work. I used the instructions from the supported hardware page which led me to the PPA for my card

Can't help with this at the moment (need to go out), but I have changed the thread title to give you a better chance of specific help with that card. Getting it working should be do-able without much effort. Back later, but hopefully someone else will leap in before then. Good luck and welcome to the forums. ;)

To clarify the Atheros adapter is for my ethernet connection. I am having issues with my wireless connection (Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter)

Title fixed. It will appear as the title you see on the first post in all search lists. ;)
