Re: [Bug 1096989] Re: 10ec:8179 No wireless support for Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 (RTL8188E)

Hello, Your Dudeness,

Is it possible please to tell us:

Do you use raring?
Did you update the linux-firmware?
Would you please tell us the output of
sudo dmesg| grep rtl
sudo lsmod | grep rtl
?

Thanks in advance,
Rujinschi Remus

Bug description:
  I'm on 12.10. The wifi adapter doesn't seem to be recognized at all:
  doesn't show up in NetworkManager, no adapter listed by iwconfig. The
  wifi card seems to be a RTL8188E (lspci -nn tells me it's 10ec:8179).

  I've tried to:
     - install the Realtek driver for the RTL8188CE (seemed close enough...)
     - install the driver from https://github.com/tianon/linux-rtlwifi-8188ce
     - install linux-backports-modules-cw
     - upgrade to kernel 3.7

  None of those worked.
