Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150(40813AU)

  • Chipset: RealTek RTL8191SU
  • Device id: ?
  • Driver: Couldn't find driver online but found it in Windows partition

Info

This is an onboard chipset.

In Windows, open Device Manager to identify the wireless chip and the drivers. It shows a bunch of files that all contain the string "8192".

Switch to Kubuntu:

1. Mount the Windows partition and find the .inf file, based on the driver file names :

find /media/disk/WINDOWS/ -name *8192* -print

2. This locates likely stuff: 

/media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/net8192su.cat
/media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/net8192su.inf
/media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/rtl8192su.sys

3. Copy these files somewhere in the GNU file tree.

4. Install ndisgtk. I just plugged in a spare USB wireless adapter to connect to the net, then ran:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

5. Remove the temporary USB wireless adapter, then run ndisgtk and point it to the net8192su.inf file.

6. Bring up the network (KDE does it automatically).
