The relevant output of lspci is as followsĠ.8:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. The Wi-Fi worked on the (now removed) windows 8 install that came with the laptop. I have also tried to use the Wi-Fi on other Linux distros, but none of them have worked. NDISwrapper loaded the driver but the card did not work. My current Xbuntu install is fresh and I have had this laptop for less than a week. I have attempted to use NDISwrapper to load a windows driver for the card, as per the instructions on the Ubuntu wiki. A previous post on this forum seems to deal with a similar issue but there were no responses to that thread. When I have searched the web I have found very limited information about running this card on Linux. The Network Manager applet does not show any 'Wireless Network' options, nor are any networks listed. I am unable to get the Realtek RTL8188EE Wi-Fi adapter on my HP ENVY 17t-j000 Quad Edition laptop to work on Xbuntu 12.04.
