Wireless on samsung n210

[johnmollaghan]

Just installed Netbook Remix on a Samsung N210.

No wireless networks are being detected, what do I need to install to get this working?

Thanks

Please open a terminal and do:

lspci -nn | grep Network
sudo lshw -C network

Please post the result and we'll help you.

I am also having the same problem with an N210.... here is the output for this one. Before stumbling upon this post I did more or less those comdands and guessed that the UNCLAIMED network is the one I'm lookin for. Then searched and here I am.

For this device only; I don't know yet if johnmollaghan has the same.

Download the driver here: http://rs110.rapidshare.com/files/33...29.2009.tar.gz

Open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

Those little tick marks are on my US keyboard along with ~.

By default, in Firefox, downloads go to the Desktop. Right-click the .tar.gz file and select 'Extract here.' A folder will be created called 'rtl8192e-blah-blah' Open a terminal and do:

cd Desktop/rtl8

Press the Tab key and the rest will be filled in for you. Press Enter. Then do:

make
sudo su
make install
modprobe r8192e-pci
iwconfig

Do you now have a wireless interface? Can you click Network Manager and connect?

Please post back any difficulties or errors.

I will check it out when I'm home from work today. Thanks a bunch.

Hi,

Just received my n210 this morning and ran into the same problem as you. Thank you very much chili555 for your help, it worked almost instantly.

I didnt have to install build-essential or linux-headersm but I did have to install linux-source to solve a problem described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047374.

The rest worked fine.
Don't use sudo for the make install as it won't use linux-source as needed.

Hope this helps

[johnmollaghan]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.That worked perfectly! I had to reboot in order to see the networks.

Is there any way of tracking the issues with UNR and the Samsung n210/220? I'd like to switch to UNR once the hardware is supported.
