    Rtl 8191su

    Hey guys

    I've been using the instructions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...light=rtl+8712

    To install drivers for an RTL 8191S

    jared@InsaneProvision:~$ cd Desktop/
    jared@InsaneProvision:~/Desktop$ rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/sudo su
    bash: rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/sudo: No such file or directory

    I know this is probably really simple, but What am I doing wrong?

    Re: RTL 8191SU I cannot manage install wireless driver!! NOOB alert!!

    The 'sudo su' part is a separate command and needs to go on the next line - you need to press the 'Enter' key after doing the tab completion

    You don't need to carefully type all that! Just type in:
    Code:
    cd  Desktop/rtl
    Press Tab and the rest of the first part will fill in. Add driver/rtl and press Tab and the remainder will fill in. PRESS ENTER. Now do:
    Code:
    sudo su
    make
    make install
    modprobe 8712u
    exit

    jared@InsaneProvision:~/Desktop$ rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/ -make
    bash: rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/: Is a directory
    jared@InsaneProvision:~/Desktop$ sudo su
    [sudo] password for jared:
    root@InsaneProvision:/home/jared/Desktop# make
    make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

    the enter in the last reply gives me: bash: rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/: Is a directory

    You need to do the make command from in that directory, not To that directory. Life is easier if you just cd to it to begin with.
    Please & Thank You

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

    I knew whatever i was missing would be simple.

    So I ran the make command and got this:


    /home/jared/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/include/rtl871x_recv.h:205:24: error: field ‘recv_tasklet’ has incomplete type
    make[2]: *** [/home/jared/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/cmd/rtl871x_cmd.o] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [_module_/home/jared/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-34-generic-pae'
    make: *** [modules] Error 2


    And then make install:


    root@InsaneProvision:/home/jared/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.201204 05# make install
    install -p -m 644 8712u.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-34-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
    install: cannot stat `8712u.ko': No such file or directory
    make: *** [install] Error 1

    Try this:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install build-essential
    Then try the make again.
