Hello.
I just decided to give OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64) a go in my netbook,
everything is working flawlessly so far, except for the Wireless
Network. I did install "rsu-firmware" which did nothing.
My netbook has a Realtek RTL8192SE wireless chip, which I can't get to
work with OpenBSD. When running "ifconfig" this is what I get:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33144
priority: 0
groups: lo
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:03:0d:fb:20:69
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
status: active
inet6 fe80::203:dff:fefb:2069%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
enc0: flags=0<>
priority: 0
groups: enc
status: active
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33144
priority: 0
groups: pflog
So as you can see, I can only see the Ethernet card (re0) which is
working properly via DHCP, however, the Wireless interface is nowhere
to be seen.
Running "dmesg | grep Realtek" reveals the following:
"Realtek 8192SE" rev 0x10 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 not configured
Which leads me to believe that the device is not being properly
recognized by the ACPI Interface.
Looking at /src/sys/dev/pci/pcidevs_data.h , I found the following:
{
PCI_VENDOR_REALTEK, PCI_PRODUCT_REALTEK_RTL8192SE,
"8192SE",
},
However I could not find any kind of implementation or interface for
the device, all I could find were "if_re_pci.c", "if_rl_pci.c" and
"if_rtw_pci.c" none of which implement the RTL8192SE card.
What can I do? Is the card not supported at all? Is it just bad
mapping maybe?
Thanks for your help.
