Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150
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).
