Toshiba Satellite Linux and Wireless

After running the Ubuntu successfully on my laptop, I realised that the wireless wasn't working.
I could connect to the internet through cable but it seemed that Ubuntu didn't found the wireless device.

It is simply a driver missing.
Luckily Realtek has drivers for its devices on its website.

These are the steps you need to follow:
  1. In terminal enter the command: lspci
  2. Search in the results for WiFi Adapter
  3. In the same line there will be the device id. (Mine was RTL8188CE)
  4. Go to the following site and in the search box search the device id you found in the previous step: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
  5. From the results you can download the driver for linux easily.
Further instructions are included in the file you download.
