I have just installed the latest version, 0.3.1 Freya 32 bit, but cannot get my usb wireless adaptor to work. It is a U-Link 802.llN adaptor and the supplied drivers are RTL8192EU.

Any ideas?

So, after hours of googling I ended up here: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7#TOC-Realtek-RTL8188EU-chipset-0bda:8179- There was a section 6 which provided a link to an updated? driver and some instructions that worked perfectly. I now have wireless Yay. :-)
