I followed these steps http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/05/h...sb-dongle.html (with the sudo su modification...)
but simply doesn't work
iwconfig:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up:Code:lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 802.11b/g Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
any ideas???Code:SIOCSIFFLAGS: Temporarily unavaible resource
First, let's try to fix the firmware issue. Let's see if the needed firmware is actually on your system:This will take a few moments, please be patient.Code:sudo updatedb locate rtl8192sfw.bin
You probably have the firmware in /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE. However, your driver is looking in /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU.If you confirm that that's the case, let's copy over the firmware to the correct directory:usb 1-2: firmware: requesting RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.binReboot and let us have your report. Include the dmesg listings as above.Code:sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU sudo cp /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE/rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU
Hi all, I followed this thread and many others and lost the whole week end trying to figure out how to install this ****** usb network adapter without success.
First of all: if i want to use Kubuntu 10.10 or 10.04 what USB wireless adaptor would work out of the box??
secondly: do you suggest I simply throw the Belkin Surf adaptor I have in the trash and/or try to sell it on e-bay to some windows user?
I tried everything but my computer does not want to recognize the usb adapter no matter what I do.
iwconfig says there are no wireless adaptors,
lsusb sees one belkin device and the regular usb hubs
when I try to make install something goes wrong all the time (I get a bunch of no directory, no permission or whatever messages)
Moreover, is there a way to turn the thing on or it simply turns on by itself?
when I grep the dmesg I see the usb device gets connected buy I don't see it as a network adapter..
Help
Hmm. Try this way:
driver should load and dmesg should print:Code:cd /usr/src/linux sudo make xconfig Device Drivers -> Stagging Drivers -> RealTek RTL8712U[*] sudo make && make modules_install sudo reboot
Ok, go forward.Code:[ 2.008661] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8171 [ 2.008818] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 2.008974] usb 1-4: Product: RTL8188S WLAN Adapter [ 2.009132] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Manufacturer Realtek [ 2.009286] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001 [ 2.009520] usb 1-4: usb_probe_device [ 2.009523] usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 2.009787] usb 1-4: adding 1-4:1.0 (config #1, interface 0) [ 2.009853] r8712u 1-4:1.0: usb_probe_interface [ 2.009855] r8712u 1-4:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id [ 2.009857] r8712u: DriverVersion: v7_0.20100831 [ 2.010023] r8712u: register rtl8712_netdev_ops to netdev_ops [ 2.010178] r8712u: USB_SPEED_HIGH with 4 endpoints [ 2.010658] r8712u: Boot from EFUSE: Autoload OK
Your network should be running now.Code:sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo iwlist scan sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [type name of your wlan ssid] sudo iwlist scan sudo dhcpcd
Problems I am facing now are how to force Wicd to detect that dongle.
I've added this script to ~/.bash_profile
So each time I am login in, connection is gettin up, as you cant manage it with Wicd or network manager.Code:sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo iwlist scan sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [type name of your wlan ssid] sudo iwlist scan sudo dhcpcd
All those things were going on:
Gentoo (sorry for that, just want to help here), kernel - 2.6.37, dhcpcd 5.2.8, wireless-tools 29
Update:
Wifi-radar works fine, no idea why Wicd is slacking

It looks like a LOT of people have been similarly burned by this Ubuntu bug:
- Ubuntu Karmic 32bit Realtek 8192SU driver
- Realtek RTL8192SU driver compiling issues
- [STAGING] realtek rtl8192su chipset based USB wireless devices fail to work
- Mvix Solido driver (rtl8712/8172) on 10.04
- Firmware for Realtek 8192
etc.
To help others, here's my summary of my particular workaround to this Ubuntu bug.
Sort of a hijack but I think relevant. My RTL8192SU adapter (TrendNet TEW649UB)works out of the box with Natty. Great!! Until I put the machine in suspend. It'll suspend fine but won't wake up from suspend. I can unplug then replug the adapter and it will come alive and work perfectly. I have a thread about this in the Natty testing forum. This adapter suspends and resumes flawlessly in 10.10 with the firmware patch. I have an ath9k adapter and an old TrendNet TEW424UB which will suspend and resume perfectly in Natty. I'm guessing there's something with the R8712U module and I assume the 2.6.38 kernel that are not happy together. The problem occurs on a Gigabyte desktop machine and an IBM Thinkpad so it's not just one chipset that's the problem. It also occurs with Natty 32 bit and Xubuntu 32 bit. I probably should file a bug report but I'm not sure how to go about it. Apport is not activated.
I always fear updating my kernel since every time I have trouble getting my wireless card working again.
chili555, you've always helped me before some I'm hoping you'll be able to give me a hand again. I'm still running Lucid. I updated the kernel and recompiled the driver as you said earlier in this thread (which worked last time) but it didn't work. I thought maybe it had something to do with the driver being old so I downloaded the newest version of the driver and again compiled it like before but still no luck. At this point I'm stumped. I've been messing around with it for a couple hours but I can't seem to get it working. Is it possible the new and old version of the drivers are conflicting?
Thanks
