Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-18
Severity: normal
Hello,
I did not manage to use my PCI wireless card RTL8191SE with linux-
image-2.6.32-5-amd64 version 2.6.32-18.
The commad modprobe r8192_pci does not bring device to life.
Note that I did install the firmware-realtek package version 0.26.
$ ls /lib/firmware/
hp RTL8192E RTL8192SE RTL8192SU
Here is what I did to use the device:
I downloaded rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010.tar.gz from
http://www.realtek.com/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1PNid=21PFid=48Level=5Conn=4ProdID=226
and compiled the module.
I also copied the firmware RTL8192SE in /lib/firmware (as already seen in the
ls output above).
Apart from a make install problem signaled in Bug#590189, I could bring the
device to life with insmod r8192se_pci.ko.
My conclusion is that the driver modules provided by the current version of
linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 do not allow to use the RTL8191SE card.
Could you include the driver for this card ?
Best regards,
O.C.
