Netbook and linux wifi woes

[imunro01]

I'm using a Samsung N210 netbook (has a Realtek 8192 wireless card).

 

If I install Fedora, I get no wireless at all - I understand RHEL clones don't support the card.

 

I installed Ubuntu, and whilst it recognises the card, it will not allow me to connect - rejects the WPA2 security key (a known bug I believe).

 

Can anyone either offer a solution to either of the above, or suggest a linux version that will allow me to connect to wifi successfully with this card

 

CHeers!

^^^ What he said. If no luck there, you could try connecting using a wired connection, then getting all the updates and (in the case of Ubuntu) restricted drivers. You could also look for restricted drivers blobs in the repos.
