Hello guys,
I've decided to dual boot Kubuntu with using Wubi as XP as the main OS. Now i've aquired the Linux drivers for my wifi card. Now being a total linux noob i do not have a clue how to get the wireless drivers to work.
Following a Wiki entry about installing the drivers didn't get me very far at all.

First, you need a proper build environment with the appropriate kernel headers. This is done fairly easily:
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
Next, download and unpack the modified driver sources:
Code:
wget http://scopeboy.com/things/rtl8187se...odified.tar.gz
tar xvzf rtl818 7se_linux_26.1012.0331.2008_modified.tar.gz
Now build them. Note that you'll need to set an environment variable in order to avoid a certain problem:
Code:
cd rtl8187se_linux_26.1012.0331.2008
export KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1
./makedrv
Now, assuming everything compiled without errors, try starting it all up using the wlan0up script. This will insert the appropriate modules and enable the wireless device. You should then be able to use it with Ubuntu's network manager.
Code:
sudo ./wlan0up

Now could this be done totally offline as at the moment the only way i can connect is through wireless.
Thanks guys
