To clarify, for post #208, I am running: Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309 w/rtl8192se Ubuntu 9.10 desktop x86 with all of the latest updates as of this writing. Linux toshiba 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
However, having nothing to lose, I did a fresh install last night and decided to try the latest rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0014.0115.2010.tar.gz and NOT ndiswrapper. To gain immediate WiFi access, I used my USB Netgear WN111v2 (works out of the box) which was configured as wlan0. Subsequently I downloaded: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38201251/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0014.0115.2010.tar.gz After downloading, I unplugged my USB wifi and performed the following steps: > tar -xvzf rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0014.0115.2010.tar.gz > sudo -s make > sudo -s make install > sudo shutdown -r now After rebooting, I was able to successfully connect to an Apple Airport Extreme set to 802.11b/g/n 2.4Ghz using WPA2 encryption. The rtl8192se_pci was configured as wlan1: >iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan1 802.11bgn ESSID:"SmileyNet" Nickname:"rtl8191SEVA2" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:19:E3:33:A2:39 Bit Rate=26 Mb/s Retry:on RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=72/100 Signal level=-64 dBm Noise level=-106 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 Speeds are not exactly what I'd call great, but it gets the job done. Various speed tests (http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest) show I'm getting around 5-10Mbps... (it varies). Additional notes: 1) I haven't played with many of the iwconfig settings, so I'm not sure how much more I can get out of it, but it works. 2) I have put the laptop to sleep and upon wake, it reconnected to the AP without a hitch. 3) To put this into perspestive, I have it dual booting with Windows 7 and I'm connecting to the very same AP at ~130Mbps in Windows 7. I will do ndiswrapper later and report my findings again. Hope this helps. -- Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN Card Fails to work on Medion Akoya E1312 Netbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
