I installed 10.04 on my laptop, and the internet is gone

Question

So I just installed 10.04 onto my Toshiba L745D-S4220 laptop. I installed it with a wired connection and it installed fine, but noticibly never asked for any internet connection settings when I installed. So I restart, and there is no connection, even though it is plugged into ethernet and I know that there are many strong wifis around the area. I tried ifconfig -a, it sees the ethernet connection. I tried iwconfig and it says that there are no connections available. It seems that there are no drivers that installed for connecting up to any sort of internet. Help!

Answer 1

Ubuntu 10.04

From LaunchPad

The simplest way to get it working is here :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lexical/hwe-wireless
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192ce-dkms

The other option would be to upgrade to 11.10 (Oneiric)

This is because the necessary drive is included in the Oneiric (3.0.0) kernel.
