I changed from Windows XP to Ubuntu 14.04! My netbook is 7 years old and i can't connect to WiFi! It's first time i use Ubuntu so please be exact, if you want to help me!

I did this lspci and the result was:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)

The lsusb result was:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e1:0100 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd 802.11g + Bluetooth Wireless Adapter

The result of sudo lshw -c network is:

**This is a repackaging of Realtek's own 8192CU USB WiFi driver for Ubuntu 13.10 and later

Please check realteck for bugs in your wifi adapter before installing this driver generator.

Dual antennas are known not to work well. This may be a Realtek driver issue.

Installation: You can copy and paste these commands in a terminal (Ctl + Alt + T) as long as you are an administrator.

Make sure you have the packages first.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

Then clone git.

git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

Then set it as DKMS module:

sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes

Build & Install it:

sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10

Refresh:

sudo depmod -a

Make sure the (broken) kernel driver is blacklisted:

sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

Then reboot.

sudo reboot
