[xubuntu-users] Help with wireless drivers

[Brett Murch]

Hey Lee,

I have that driver.mine worked out of the box. Mine is the rtl8187b
driver. I think that there is another one called rtl8187L. If yours is
the same as mine you can try in a terminal

sudo modprobe rtl8187, then again in a terminal do sudo lsmod. you might
not need the sudo. and look under usb and see if it is listed there. If
you see it and it still doesn;t load try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up or
whatever your card is listed as. you can check this by typing sudo
ifconfig -a and see if it is listed and loaded.
