wireless - rtl8192ce Drivers not compiling in Raring


I recently installed Ubuntu 13.0.4 Raring Ringtail onto my HP Pavilion G6, and I am having trouble compiling the drivers for my rtl8192ce wi-fi adapter. I've been searching around for a few days now and I haven't had any luck.


The driver I'm attempting to compile and install is here:

Here's the error I'm receiving when I attempt to run the "make" command:

Please help me solve this issue. Many thanks in advance to those who may have any advice to offer.



Download and try to compile this instead: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54132482/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_linux_mac80211_0006.0514.2012.zip


Extract it, then run:


sudo make

Then:


sudo make install

Then:


sudo modprobe rtl8792ce

Then check your wireless. If it still doesn't work, reboot.
