Realtek WiFi
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 3:38 pm
Hi All,
I installed Mint 7 and everything was working as expected. I customised the system look 'n feel and all was ok. MintUpdate pointed out that 66 updates were available which I applied. Since then my wifi started to show intermittent connection problems. I then thought maybe the driver wasn't very good so went to install the native driver via ndiswrapper. Well that was a mistake. Now nothing works and I don't know how to reinstate the Linux version. My wifi is an internal USB card and is a Realtek RTL8187 model.
Could somebody please guide me through the process of getting the old one to work. Better still, I think the native driver might be better so maybe even show me how to use ndiswrapper as well.
Thanks
