I've had my 1201N for a couple of months and I was running 9.10 and then ran 10.04RC and now I'm on 10.04 Desktop 32bit

Eachtime I did a FRESH Install
and each time I just installed the Realtek Driver and viola it worked!

The only thing I noticed is in 9.10 Ubuntu detected my wifi card wrong and it didn't work at all but im 10.04 it detected it correctly and I can See a few networks but not all of them but I couldn't connect

Well, I will try again. Thanks anyway.

FWIW I got my 1201N yesterday, installed 10.04 and then plugged into ethernet did all the needed updates and wireless now works fine.

emoguitarist06, you're the man! I followed your instructions and made my wifi working now on Asus 1201N and Ubuntu 10.04:

Thank you! You saved my day (night, actually).

For your information - 10.10 runs this WiFi out of the box. Absolutely no problems.

Many thanks Rubsdecvik for your May 4th, 2010 12:26 PM post. I was asked by a friend to wipe W7 from his Asus EEE 1001P netbook. He didn't even want dual-boot. Needless to say, after installing Ubuntu 10.04 Nebook remix, I had no wireless. I'm not very Linux savy, so I was panicking. Your post saved me.

Anyone have troubles with the 2.6.32-25 kernel update? I had been working fine with 10.04 for a long time. Just updated it and now no networking works, wireless or wired.

I did test both in Win7 and they work.

I'll tinker after I grab dinner... But glad I didn't ship this to my sister. She'd not know what to do at all...

If you install a new kernel you need to repeat installing realteks driver. Follow the steps emoguitarist06 wrote in post#6.

Load the driver, read the readme, compile/install/reboot.
