** Summary changed:
- Wireless Works On Live CD Stopped Working After Installation 0bda:8172
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
+ 0bda:8172 Realtek WiFi works in Live environment but stops after installation
** Description changed:
I booted my computer using an Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit Desktop live CD and
wifi worked no problem. After installing Ubuntu 15.10 to disk, wireless
no longer works. I can see the wireless device using lsusb but it is not
an option to use in network-manager, and does not show up in
/etc/network/interfaces.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU
802.11n WLAN Adapter
My computer does not have an airplane mode button. The wireless card is
not disabled that I can tell or from my own actions.
+ WORKAROUND:
+ wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37387612/rtl8192sfw.bin.gz
+ gunzip rtl8192sfw.bin.gz
+ sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU
+ sudo mv rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/
+ sudo depmod -a or reboot
+ sudo service network-manager restart
+
+ After every reboot I have to run "sudo service network-manager restart"
+ for wireless to work.
