So I just finished building my PC and tried to get the wireless card to work - problem is, it barely works, if at all. It detects all the networks around me, but when I tried connecting to my network, it prompts me for the password (like normal), but when I enter the password that I knew for a fact I'd entered correctly, it asks for my password again and again, forever and ever. I have never actually been able to connect to the network. And now I must have screwed up in my attempt to get the damned thing working, because now I can't even try to enter my password, nor are any networks being detected!
I can't use apt-get to wade through this because, surprise surprise, I don't have a working Wi-Fi card to do that! This also means I can't install anything without doing so manually and creating dominoes of headaches. And if that weren't bad enough for me, this also means that Software Center is a digital paperweight right now.
I've went through the readme in the Terminal and all that, but running 'make' gives me a permissions error (which I seem to have gotten a ton of). The readme tells me about a 'modprobe -r' kind of command (not exactly that), but I get a "FATAL: Module 52806 not found." error.
I could really use some help here.
My kernel is 3.11.0-12
Thanks in advance. And sorry for sounding like a technologically-oblivious dad about this
