hello everyone! after grappling with this problem myself. ok first of all you need to use the realtek driver as david woo suggested. manual or automatic install is your choice. try automatic. much quicker i guess. then you might come across the situation where the GUI will still not show the list of wireless networks nearby. go to terminal and then:

ifconfig wlan0 up

should do the trick.

otherwise, from the folder where you extracted the drivers,

./wlan0 up

where i got this from? - the driver readme! check it out and its quite helpful and straightforward!
