<p>Report from Theodore B. Ruegsegger</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150(40813AU)==<br /> <br /> * Chipset: RealTek RTL8191SU<br /> * Device id: ?<br /> * Driver: Couldn&#039;t find driver online but found it in Windows partition<br /> <br /> ==Info==<br /> This is an onboard chipset.<br /> <br /> In Windows, open Device Manager to identify the wireless chip and the<br /> drivers. It shows a bunch of files that all contain the string &quot;8192&quot;.<br /> <br /> Switch to Kubuntu:<br /> <br /> 1. Mount the Windows partition and find the .inf file, based on the<br /> driver file names :<br /> <br /> find /media/disk/WINDOWS/ -name *8192* -print<br /> <br /> 2. This locates likely stuff:<br /> <br /> /media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/net8192su.cat<br /> /media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/net8192su.inf<br /> /media/disk/WINDOWS/OPTIONS/CABS/rtl8192su.sys<br /> <br /> 3. Copy these files somewhere in the GNU file tree.<br /> <br /> 4. Install ndisgtk. I just plugged in a spare USB wireless adapter to<br /> connect to the net, then ran:<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get update<br /> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk<br /> <br /> 5. Remove the temporary USB wireless adapter, then run ndisgtk and<br /> point it to the net8192su.inf file.<br /> <br /> 6. Bring up the network (KDE does it automatically).<br /> <br /> [[Category:WORKS]]<br /> [[Category:Desktop]]<br /> [[Category:Onboard]]</div>
