    Right, provided you have an RealTek RTL8191/2SE or RTL8171, this fix will work. By the way, make sure your system is fully updated, for it wouldn't work unless I did so.

    Before you do this, check the version of Ubuntu you have. If it is 9.10, then do this, otherwise skip this and go to the instructions:

    If you are running Ubuntu 9.10, then the kernel versions installed in Ubuntu, even when updated don't exactly like the driver, and won't work. You have to install kernel version 2.6.32 from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ and downlaod:

    linux-headers-2.6.32-020632_2.6.32-020632_all.deb
    This is the linux headers, that has to be installed with the below kernel versions

    Now depending on whether you have installed 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu

    linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_amd64.deb for 64-bit
    linux-image-2.6.32-020632-generic_2.6.32-020632_i386.deb for 32-bit

    The above are linux kernel (version 2.6.32), and hopefully one day, this driver will also be included in it. They are architecture dependant, so if one doesn't work, just install the other one.

    If you are running 9.04 or older, then skip the above

    Here's what you do:

    1. Download this file rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1211.2009.tar.gz . It is a tar.gz and you need to extract it to the Desktop. To do this, you just open with "Archive Manager" and there will be an extract option in that dialog box in the extracting utility. This is the driver for the above wifi card.

    2. Go to Applications ----> Accessories ----> Terminal and type in
    Code:
    cd ~/Desktop/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1116.2009
    This will take you into the directory of the file.

    3. Type in
    Code:
    sudo su
    and type in your password. This will give you root permissions to the computer.

    4. Type in
    Code:
    make
    This will compile the source code for the driver

    Then:
    Code:
    make install
    This installs the source code onto your computer. Restart and it should work

    If there are any problems, let me know, and put whatever comes up in the terminal here.

    YAY, webcam works out of the box in Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix, which is really strange, but anyways, it WORKS . Noew that I got that working, now to test if the microphone works too ...

    OMG!! Thanks to this thread here, I got the screen brightness issue fixed up, and it doesn't require using Compiz . AWESOMENESS. I seriously should make a HowTo about getting all this stuff to work

    EDIT: By the way, the screen, when it is on the lowest brightness, isn't black. It is actually still useable, though I presume the backlight is off on that setting. Very useful for bright situations i.e. daylight while using outside

    Also, my panel has gone crazy. System monitor won't quite work. I'll fix that up in no time though...

    EDIT: It fixed itself up on the next reboot

    I have Ubuntu (Current version of Lucid Lynx) working on a TT110 13H.

    The wireless worked on a recent update. In fact, almost everything that I've tested works properly on the current update with no twiddling.

    Things that I note that aren't working
    1. The function key (Fn F8) won't switch off the wireless
    2. Headphone socket
    3. Touchpad sometimes behaves bizarrely, e.g. it might be locked in the horizontal - only moving vertically.
    4. Internal Mic (haven't tested an external mic)

    Microphone works now.

    Solution is hinted at here: http://zongosaiba.blogspot.com/2010/...hiba-t110.html

    sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer

    Then run it.
    There are a number of Mics shown. Mic B was selected. Turns out that Mic F works.
