I followed the below steps to install my rtl8192ce drivers on my Ubuntu 9.4 system. But I still got errors and nothing installed and I can't connect to the modem to get onto the Internet. Can someone please help me?

Move the file you downloaded to your home directory using your file manager or terminal

mv [destination of downloaded file]  /home/[username] 

Now we move to our home directory and Unzip the file using the following command or right click and select Extract here:

cd /home/user 


tar xvjf  rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013(1).tar.bz2 

Now access the Directory which we extracted

cd rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013(1) 

Next we install the necessary dependencies to compile the driver

sudo apt-get install gcc build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Now we start the compilation

make

and then

sudo make install

Execute modprobe rtl8192ce

Now If all went right your system should be running the wireless driver."
