Installing Realtek drivers into ubuntu 9.10

[Anonymous]

I've installed ubuntu 9.10 onto a Toshiba Satellite m505d-s4970.  The wireless card isn't recognized at all.  I think the card is a RTL-8190.  I followed the instructions at http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing.  I had to do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before any of the instructions would work, but when they did, I got stuck at the part about making and installing the driver.  Here's the Terminal log:

    Checked out revision 52.

The instructions just before the making and installing the driver (modprobe -r ieee80211) don't work, so I rebooted and tried again.  Here's that log:

    anthony@anthony-laptop:~$ sudo cd rtl-wifi

    anthony@anthony-laptop:~$ cd rtl-wifi

Even after years of trying to learn linux, I'm still very much a newbie.  What am I doing wrong?

I`m getting the exactly same problem here: I receive error 2 when running `make`

try this
sudo make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/build M=<path to rtl-wifi> modules
eg
sudo make -C /lib/modules/2.6.31-14-generic/build M=/home/anthony-laptop/rtl-wifi modules

but then I get other errors
