How to install driver for USB wireless network adapter G54/N150 Wifi (WNA1000M)

[likelinux]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Operating system in my desktop and I want to enable wireless network for it. So, I bought a USB wireless network adapter G54/N150 Wifi (Model no: WNA1000M). I wanted to install driver for this device. I tried following the instructions in this post.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=WNA1000M

But, it seems the 'compat' is changed to 'backports' and also the files in that tarball and I am stuck here. I am getting the following error message for the below command.

*********@*********-PC:~$ cd Desktop/backports-3.11-rc3-1/
*********@*********-PC:~/Desktop/backports-3.11-rc3-1$ ./scripts/driver-select rtlwifi
bash: ./scripts/driver-select: No such file or directory

Can anyone please help me installing the driver for this device in my system. Thanks in advance.

Please try:

cd Desktop/backports-3.11-rc3-1/
make defconfig-rtlwifi
make
sudo make install

And proceed as before.

EDIT: Which device do you have?

lspci -nn | grep 0280

I performed the next following instructions as you suggested. After "sudo make install" command it asked me to reboot.When I gave reboot it got stuck on the ubuntu screen for a long time. I did a forced shutdown using power button. After starting again, I gave the command sudo modprobe rtl8192cu .

But I didn't get any message after issuing the command. And also I cannot see wireless connections enabled.

*********@********-PC:~$ sudo modprobe rtl8192cu
[sudo] password for *******:
*******@*****-PC:~$


Please advise how I need to proceed from here.

Thanks in advance.

Please answer the exact question I asked:

EDIT: Which device do you have?

lspci -nn | grep 0280

The answer provides information you have not provided that I need.

rtl8192cu is correct for your device. Let's see some diagnostics:

lsmod | grep rtl
modinfo rtl8192cu | grep filename
dmesg | grep -i rtl
