[SOLVED] WiFi RTL8191SEvA problem

[mic]

Hello,
I have the following WiFi card:
Identification
Vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
Description: RTL8191SEvA Wireless LAN Controller
Media class: Network controller

Connection
Bus: PCI Express
PCI domain: 0
Bus PCI #: 2
PCI device #: 0
PCI function #: 0
PCI revision: 0x10
Vendor ID: 0x10ec
Device ID: 0x8171
Sub vendor ID: 0x103c
Sub device ID: 0x1467
Misc
Module: rtl8192se

I have found also here http://www.thebinaryidiot.com/archives/ ... in-fedora/ a description howto to get it running under Fedora. Under UBUNTU it was running out of the box. Is in Megeia a package which I have to install or do I have to compile the driver and how could I keep it up-to-date after kernel update?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

You will need to compile it. You just need to compile it after every kernel update. Most of the time it appears the compiled drivers for my card work after a kernel update

This module is contained in all kernels, or at least in those from the update before the last one, so starting from 2.6.38.8-8.mga it's in.
Additionally you'd need the appropriate firmware, which is contained in kernel-firmware-extra and in rtl8192se-firmware.

For reference:

Thank you, It is working after installing the package.

For reference, which package did you install?
