What version of Ubuntu are you using?
When you say "I've tried to install linux drivers from the Realtek website but no luck", what exactly prevented you from installing the driver? What error message did you get, at what point did you get it, and what did the error message say?
As a technician I'm sure you'll appreciate that we really need as much information as you can provide
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

what version of Ubuntu? I believe this realtek RTL8191se chipset works out of the box on Ubuntu 11.04 only.Originally Posted by barteks

ubuntu 11.04 - natty narwhal.
I didn't get any error message during installation so I assume installation was succesful
when i type in Terminal: rfkill list all
hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
hard blocked: yes
phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
hard blocked: no
Any ideas

I believe drivers are ok but they are blocked or deactivated somehow by Ubuntu.

WOOOOOW
I have tried those commands
sudo rmmod -f hp-wmi
sudo rfkill unblock all
rfkill list all
and get wireless working, but after restart it stopped again.
I need to type commands again after each restart.
How I can setup wireless permanently so its working on every reboot?

The first thing I would do is add to hp-wmi module to the blacklist file
Next to make the others happen I would addCode:sudo su echo "blacklist hp-wmi" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf exit
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Add a line above exit 0:
At reboot it should all happen for you!Code:rfkill unblock all

This works for me it fixed the problem on my wife's 100e. There are a few other threads around where this solution would help. How do we let others know? Also I would like to know what we would need to do to ensure this works out of the box for other new users as these are the type of users who will be on the 100e. Why is a working driver somehow blocked?
