 I see in some wiki page a reference to the Realtek website,
 at least for (stock) F12.

 Is this chipset in the meantime supported in the F12 kernel
 and/or will it be supported in F13?



I just happen to have spend 2 days recently getting such
a card to work. With older versions of the realtek provided
driver you will get bad reception with newer versions a kernel
panic due to stack corruption. After spending too much time
on this, I've found at that this version:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36688638/rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1211.2009.tar.gz

Which is the 0010 version + bugfixes for 64 bit and the bad
reception issue (power of the transmitter programmed too low)
fixed works very well.

I meant to write a blog pist about this but I have not gotten around to
this yet.

Note this version is attached to this launchpad bug, which comes with
186 comments:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/401126?comments=all

Enjoy,

Hans

get it latest from realtek directly:

$ ncftpget -u WebUser -p 7p5XTFw 218.210.127.132 . '/cn/wlan/*inux*'

Realtek 8192se on F12/F13

2010-05-10 Thread Jos Vos
Hi,

What is the status of support for the Realtek 8192se WiFi
controller in F12 and F13?

I see in some wiki page a reference to the Realtek website,
at least for (stock) F12.

Is this chipset in the meantime supported in the F12 kernel
and/or will it be supported in F13?

Thanks,

staging drivers are out of Fedora kernel, only crystalhd is
included.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558337

Short answer, not supported yet.  I build the wireless driver on my
netbook whenever updating the vendor driver with the patch attached
here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558337#c4

It's a bit of a pain, but once built it works great.

 Thanks,

As far as I know, the 8192se is yet to enter the main kernel tree.
For now, I'm using the latest version of realtek.com [1] (it builds
cleanly on F12), which more-or-less works. (Performance is a bit slow,
but the connection is solid)
