Installing RealTek rt8781 wireless driver for Ubuntu

Difficulty:

After my fresh new install of Ubuntu 8.10 (Inteprid) I noticed that my little Asus Eee pc did not contain the correct wireless Realtek drivers. Since my laptop is duel boot, I had the luck that I could switch back to my Windows XP environment for Google and downloading the correct package.

I found the solution!

I downloaded the following *.deb package:
http://boskastrona.ovh.org/download/linux-rtl8187se-modules-04coffee@2.6.27.7.11.deb

After downloading the correct package open your terminal:
Applications > Accessories (Hulpmiddelen) > Terminal (Terminalvenster)

Type and go to the specified folder, for example:

 cd /media/disk-1/Linux/

Type:

sudo dpkg -i linux-rtl8187se-*.deb

Fill in your password, when prompted.
Wait till the console succeeds with installing.
