I think i've just repeated the steps from my previous post but with the adapter unplugged and then i removed the rltwifi folder that i've copied from linux mint cd!
Then i followed this steps (to the wireless be available after each reboot):

I made an account just to say thank you for this script, and everybody in this thread for figuring this out. Not only have I had problems with the RTL8192cu driver, but I have an Asus N13 with this chipset in it and would you believe Asus' own site gives you drivers for the RT2870 chipset instead when you pull up the support page. Crazy when you can't even get the right driver from the vendor.
Anyway I found this fix to work great with Ubuntu 12.10, even though I'm not an Arch user I just had to drop in and show my appreciation.

First of all: welcome to the Linux Mint forum and secondly, I'm happy that it worked for you.
So, don't feel pressured to try one of LM's tastes
I have a TP-Link TL-WN725N running in ubuntu 12.04, and after installing the RTL8192cu and blacklisting the kernel driver as advised all worked again as it did with windows. As someone posted before, I just registered here in order to greet the guys who made this possible. Thank you Mads and Monsta for sharing your knowledge with everybody!
Hi, I have stumbled on to this as I recently purchased a Netgear N150 Micro USB and have had endless problems with it
Now some of the issues could be I am offically below the class of n00b but I despise MS and have been using Ubuntu for years on my laptop with no issues at all.
I have now made a xbmc box for my lounge and thought wireless... before i consider having to use MS can someone please help me I would rather never watch tv again than have a MS media center.
I'm using a Dell Optiplex 755 and am on the LM Nadia 14
I have followed the instructions here but i still can't get it to work. (I also dont know how to use the bash script above) plus I have no idea what state the computer is in now I have tried some many solutions
I have used the instructions listed previously and had great success, but I'm now hitting a roadblock with Olivia (LM15). Here is the output of running the script provided by Schoelje:
Please put long outputs within Code tags. See the Code button on top of the text edit field when you post. It keeps the topic readable by not needing endless scrolling over the page Updated in your post above.
Has anyone found a solution for this problem under Olivia 15 version, I've followed the instructions as stated in here and I end up with the same
as shawnlam.
I'm not into Mint lately, just SolydXK, so I can't really test this for you.
However, I see that you have the latest kernel. Did you use the latest drivers as well?
jorge_m wrote:Unless I missed the latest drivers part. I went to the realtek site and downloaded what they had there as most recent.
I'm a complete N00B at this, but so far I like a lot what I see in Mint. Trying to learn and coming to terms with it.
Thanks.
Before you know it, you'll be telling other people on this forum how to solve their problems.
When you solve this issue, please post back so that others might benefit.
I also have the same problem as shawnlam and jorge_m..
It worked just fine before on Linux Mint 14 Nadia, but I reformatted and installed Linux Mint 15 Olivia and I cannot get the driver to install..
Everything else installs fine, I have all stuff that's required installed but same error as shawnlam and jorge_m..
Anyone got a clue perhaps?
Thanks..
