Realtek RTL8191SE

Hi,
glad to hear something is working again.
Can someone give me easy to follow directions for how to use the driver found in that tarbal?

i browsed the compat site and am more confused than before.

thanks

Would you please start a new thread? I'm working a hunch here and, if it doesn't work out, we can build compat-wireless pretty easily. Please post in your thread:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

Performed some updates and rebooted to find I had no wifi. Oh, look, a kernel update. Here we go again.

cd ~/compat-wireless-3.0-rc4-1
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -r rtl8192se
sudo modprobe rtl8192se

Phew. Good job I didn't delete that tarball Can't wait until this driver goes mainstream.

Using this driver I haven't had any drop outs in the last two weeks, and it's much faster and more reliable at connecting than ndiswrapper was.

I have the RTL8191SEvB chip and after upgrading to the most recent Realtek drivers and switching my routers security from WPA to WEP authentication I was able to get the wireless working.

Just to add, the driver baked into to Kernel 3.0.0 in Ubuntu 11.10 works fine. No more backports for me.
