[Bug 401126] Re: Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN Card Fails to work on Medion Akoya E1312 Netbook

[stiV]

well guys - you rock. i got my new netbook today and decided to try
lucid netbook remix (although it's sadly just 32bit). It worked like a
charm, except the wireless card wasn't recognized, so i googled and
after seeing so many people playing with ndiswrapper (i really thought
this ancient way wouldn't be needd in 2010) i stumbled upon this thread.

to make it short: i installed build-essential, headers and downloaded
the newest driver that is being promoted here. Then i looked at the
latest makefile patch (which didn't work, but since it only moves a
line, it can be done manually) and the very first "make && make install"
worked. after modprobing the module, i could see the wlans in my
neighbourhood. So I added the module to /etc/modules, and it's working
since then - i am writing this using the netbook and WLAN ;-)

I will test it thoroughly now, but atm i am not seeing any errors in
dmesg. Performance tests will not accompany the n-capability, since i've
yet to buy an n accesspoint.

Still thank, and i think it would be awesome if this driver could get
into lucid (as long it really is stable)

cheers!
