[space.cyrus]

wireless is not working in my hp pavilion g6 laptop.I have ubuntu 10.10.(It works fine in windows 7 though)

lspci gives the following output

05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 05)

lshw -C network output is as follows
