Lenove R500 wireless not working with 9.04

Any news about the 64 bit version?

2. You need to download, compile and install the native Linux Realtek 8192Se 64Bit driver from the following location:

The 32Bit version is available from here:

has anyone been able to sort out the wireless problems. If so can you tell me because my wireless card makes a contact with the router but it when I click on firefox it does not connect to the internet.

Which method of wireless support are you using - ndiswrapper or the native rtl8192se driver ?

[mulder5_uk]

I think it's ndiswrapper

I can confirm this method worked for me on my new toshiba t115-s1105 with the rtl8192se driver downloaded from the realtek website(win2000 version).

System: Lenovo R500. Ubuntu version: 9.10

I migrated to ubuntu from Vista a week ago. The wireless doesnt work. Ubuntu recognizes bluetooth but not the wireless. The following are the details. Hope someone can help me with what to do.

iwconfig gives me these results

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sudo lshw -C network gave the following results:

What I did:
I downloaded driver for 8192 from Realtek site. Located the .inf file and installed it through windows wireless drivers. Still, the wireless doesnt work.

Problem solved. I used a linux 8192 driver and it worked for my realtek 8172 card.

Thanks to everyone on this thread.
