Hey guys <3
I am having some issues getting myyy backbox linux wireless internet working on backbox linux. I have used linux for almost 1 year now on myyy desktop PC and windows 7 on myyy toshiba satellite S875D laptop. With university coming up and all I decided to install the latest build of backbox linux on my laptop. I used it for 2 months with great enjoyment on my desktop PC. It is a penetration testing/programming distribution for those of you who are not aware of it.
When I got the whole bingo bungo installed I noticed that myyy wireless internet wasn't working. Well, its just that when I go to view the networking connections, it doesn't seem to finding myyy wireless internet. The ethernet works perfectly fine, specially that I am making this post with myyy ethernet cable inside the port
Well, I just need help to get this issue sorted out. If anyone can dedicate time to helping me fix this issue I would be very happy for that privilege. I would owe them myyy life <3
Thanks

RE: I tried to follow these steps:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo dpkg -s build-essential
wget -O-

cd rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0006.0514.2012
sudo su
make
make install
modprobe rtl8723e
exit
echo "rtl8723e"|sudo tee -a /etc/modules
I really think that it might work, but when I get to the; make, make install part it returns errors saying this...
root@Phox:/home/phox/driver# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-14-generic/build M=/home/phox/driver modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.38-14-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

phox@Phox:~$ echo "rtl8723e"|sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Well.. yea, any help is appreciated. I got the above from a french ubuntu forum and everyone that did it said it worked. I just can't seem to get past the make install part. PLEASE HELP!
