Yes, it does but how would the OP go about that in this case?

Right click on the driver and a small window should open and allow one to click on install with g-debi.-

Hi...

Do you mean the entire .zip file (RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911) or a specific folder within that?

Regards...

The specific folder once the zip is extracted:-
The one highlighted in blue in the screenshot.

Thank you for explaining that.

I thought it needed to be installed using the install.sh script, although g-debi would be easier, if that works.

Your Welcome; ardvark71

It should work. If it doesn't, than using elevated privileges in the konsole with dpkg should do it.

When I installed Debian I used g-debi to install the driver for my wireless adapter.
After g-debi installed the driver and a re-boot my wifi worked.

Sorry for not answering to all your posts recently -I've been busy-. I really apreciate your help

I've tried to use the "sudo" command, but...

Code:

freddy@freddy-Evo-D500:~/Descargas$ sudo dpkg --install RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911
[sudo] password for freddy: 
dpkg-split: error: error al leer RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911: Is a directory
dpkg:../../src/unpack.c:123:deb_reassemble: error interno: unexpected exit status 2 from dpkg-split

I don't know why this happens. I remember I've used this command to install another things (I can't remember which, it was a long time ago) but now it doesn't work.

Hi Lentejas...

Please see my instructions in post #10 or you can try Ztcoracat's idea of installing the driver using gdebi.

Regards...

Make sure you are in the directory in which the driver is in and the terminal see's it.

For example

if your RTL8188C driver is in you Downloads directory try this first before you use sudo.

Code:

cd Downloads hit Enter
Than type ls to list everything in that directory
Than sudo dpkg --install (name of driver)

If that still doesn't work become root and type:

Code:

cd /home/yourusername/Downloads/ hit Enter
Than at the prompt: sudo dpkg --install (name of driver)
