Re: Wireless usb device not working

[Marlon Nunes <mcnunes@gmail.com>]

remove all the blacklist stuff related to the rtl drivers. reboot and do 
/sbin/ifconfig -a, then check for a wlan0 or other interface related to 
you wifi card. after it is wlan0, do a /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 up. that 
should works. you could install wicd-curse to ease things.
