Seems to be no wireless adapter, but network manager shows available
networks. But I am not able to connect. Keeps reminding me about the
WPA2 key constantly and never connects.
Here the output of ifconfig

According to Hardware app from System>Administration, I have a RLT8187
wireless adapter.
So I installed the following:
dkms-rtl818x but give and error at boot and fails to be activated.

Well I will keep the search. Any suggestion is welcome!
Feddds.
