Having a nightmare trying to get a Trendnet TEW-643PI pci card to work correctly in Ubuntu. I'm currently dual booting it w/ win7. I've found two threads through Google created by people that have had similar issues but I'm brand new to linux and can't quite grasp what they are saying. Right now I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and am still trying to get the hang of everything. Any help would be appreciated |

Looks like it is using the Realtek 8190 controller according to: http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/TRENDnet_TEW-643PI You should check the FCCID on the card to make sure it matches. Then you can try the deb package from here: http://launchpad.net/~acelankao/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1286970/+listing-archive-extra |

I have to transfer anything I DL to a usb because the ethernet cable is located where the bear is sleeping. I do not wish to wake it. |

tried install the .deb but for some reason the installer would not let me install it. It basically said "only install files you trust" then to the right, the install button was not available for clicking. is the command line that hard? I used it to get some other stuff like vlc and chromium

I used it to get some other stuff like vlc and chromium Dunno mang. I use 10.04LTS  Try installing GDebi and then right clicking the .deb package to install with GDebi sudo apt-get install gdebi ETA Another thing you might try is to move the .deb to your home folder before trying to install it. Maybe someone more familiar with Ubuntu/Linux can chime in. |
