MSI Wind wireless RTL8187SE not detected with kernel 2.6.28

[jepong]

I'm using Kubuntu Jaunty Alpha 4 on a MSI Wind u100x. There's no wireless support for RTL8187SE.

I thought this is already supported? I'm sure this is also the same issue with Ubuntu.

Download: rtl8187se_linux-04.tar.bz2 and execute the commands "makedrv" and "install" consecutively from the command line.

Restart the system and you will have working wifi.

You can find the file here:

Hope this helps,

Thanks yey365!

Can you spoon-fed me a little? Can you write the step by step instruction. Thanks again.

sudo aptitude install rtl8187se-source
sudo m-a auto-install rtl8187se


Got my wireless working after reboot.
I do believe I have to do this everytime I do upgrade my kernel though

Thanks mate!

yep, after every kernel update sucks but it works on Jaunty alpha and it's a quick enough fix.

Nope, I/We don't have to do this everytime there's a kernel upgrade.
