From a quick look around, it seems that wireless card uses Realtek RTL8188CE. Here is the debian guide- http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x BTW, in case you didnt, next time you go to buy somethign its a good idea to see what the stores have. I found a ralink wireless PCIe card at the same shop where you got the this Netis WF-2113. (IIRC ralinkis the 'freest' of the wireless adapters, but I could be wrongon that...I _never_ use wireless) |

I'll use this driver(rtl8192) first if the card isn't responsive after I install it. As a last resort I'll only use the one that Netis made for Linux (only if I have to) I downloaded the Wireless Tool and the Firmware: Quote:

Have a lot to unplug before I can open the case.
I realized last night that I also better disconnect the keyboard, cable to the speakers, cable to the monitor and etc. Than unplug the power supply cord before I can actually pick up the case and put it up on my table. This is challenging to say the least. I'll let you know how it goes after I install the card. |
Got the Wireless tools and the firmware and the instructions.
Having trouble understanding which driver to download- I'm running 2.6.32-5 version of the kernel. I'm on this page is this the right one? Code:
rtl8192ce (supported devices) |
I get it now-:study:

Installed the new PCI card : no wireless connection
I successfully installed the new PCI Card with help.
I installed the firmware: Code:
firmware-realtek_0.28+squeeze1_all.deb When I went to install the "wireless-tools_30~....... The system told me that it was already installed. That's not surprising as I installed it for my old USB Linksys Adapter-- I don't see my wireless connection.:( The card is recognized in Win's XP and that's all working- I'm running Debian and 2.6.32-5 version of the kernel- Please advise what I should do to get the wireless working- |
Please post the output of
Code:
lspci |
Here's the output:
Code:
ztcoracat@mock:~$ lspci |
This is my new card; I'm pretty sure--
Code:
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) |
According to Debian's wiki you need at least kernel 2.6.38 for this device to be supported. I would recommend to upgrade to Debian Wheezy/7.0, it will be released in May anyways, so it should be pretty stable already.

Thanks Tobi!
I'll go to the Debian website and learn how to upgrade to Wheezy 7.0. |
Found good information but it seems like a lot to handle-
http://www.debian.org/releases/testi...rading.en.html http://www.acmesystems.it/squeeze2wheezy May not be able to upgrade. My Debian OS doesn't have an internet connection and I honestly don't want to do a new complete install- |
You also can try to install a newer kernel from the backports repository to get your wireless working, after that it shouldn't be hard to upgrade to Wheezy, if you still want to do that.
|
I'll try to install a newer kernel.
But I have to go and learn how-- Would a Debian backport be sufficient? Where I'm starting to learn from: http://backports.debian.org/ |
