howto: Belkin F7D1101 with RTL8192SU from staging

[lt1-gt]

Also,
what does fdm mean when he says..."First I had to add the device to r8192s_usb"?

does that mean there is a step before adding the code? or is that the first line?

[joostvanevert]

this also works for the sitecom 150n or wl-349 usb adapter.

do everything as described by fdm and replace the vendor and product id's:

network_drivers.conf

install r8192s_usb /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install r8192s_usb $CMDLINE_OPTS; /bin/echo "0df6 004b" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl819xU/new_id

network_drivers.rules

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0df6", ATTR{idProduct}=="004b", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -qba r8192s_usb"

Running arch linux, but this is the only post about this I've seen anywhere


Did all you described above..

after reboot, when i try to sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
it gives me

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

any thoughts? wlan0 only shows up with ifconfig -a, so somethings not configured correctly..

any help wuold be appreciated.

After following the OP directions but using the RTL8192SE firmware found on the arch forum site, the adapter is working perfectly. I had connection and disconnection problems with the firmware file from svn.debian.org. Thanks fdm for posting the procedure. It helped me greatly.

Worked perfectly on 10.04 64-bit. Thanks!

Good job & Many thanks! It works in Ubuntu 10.10. The Belkin USB adapter in my Linux Box is now working with a much stronger signal than when using the windows XP driver & Ndiswrapper.

I tried to download the firmware via wget as suggested earlier, but nothing downloads. It shows that it is connected to the server but nothing downloads. It just seams to time out. I've tried 10 times (a definition of insanity). ?
