Hey everybody!What's happening?
I have a real nice Toshiba satellite pro laptop.I swore off WIN almost a year ago when I installed Debian.It's been quite a learning experience.I have never been able to get the proprietary wi-fi to work(Realtek RTL8191SE)and I've tried
everything(I think).So I broke down and bought a usb wifi adapter(Wavlink WL-WN683N2P)tried installing win file with WINEHQ and guess what ? It didn't work!
Now since switching to Linux and being without the WIN headaches maybe I've
been spoiled but I don't want to spend anymore time on this but I do want wifi
any help would be greatly appreciated. Now where's that file I need to download
LINUX For newbies.I need to learn more commands! THANK'S !!! EVERYBODY!!!!

Yup, that page is exactly what you need threadstarter. I was about to point out you need firmware, but that page describes it all!
