Realtek RTL8191SE

[fositen]

Hi there.

I recently purchased a laptop Toshiba L500-13W.
I have installed Ubuntu on it and i have ony one problem for now.

It's Realtek RTL8191SE wireless lan isn't recognized by Ubuntu.

On a desperate try to put it working i've made the upgrade to the new Ubuntu version 9.10(its still in beta) but i couldn't put it to work.

I was hopping for a bit of help regarding this.

Ty for your time.

You and me both. I can't get the card to work for the life of me. I have the Toshiba l500-02H with the Realtek RTL8191SE WIRELESS CARD PCI-E NIC. I do not have the wifi card with the Bluetooth.

I have tried ndiswrapper on 9.04 and no luck there, I have downloaded 9.10 today "not the RC" and ifconfig wlan0 up says there is no device. I an not new to the bash and ndiswrapper install but can't figure this one out.

Anyone have any ideas?

Same issue. I have a new Toshiba T115 with Realtek RTL8191SE. Guess this is a windows box....

I have a Toshiba T135-S1309 with the same Wireless chip integrated. I guess I'm stuck with Windows Seven ...

Ubuntu needs a driver task force IMO.

Check out this thread at launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ux/+bug/401126

It is for the rtl8192se chipset, but someone in there reported it worked for the 8191se chipset as well.

Alternatively, send an e-mail to realtek and give them your network device info, and the version of ubuntu you are running and they will send you the proper driver.

I just went through all of this with an rtl8192e chipset and they were extremely fast at sending me a driver for it.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 and here is what worked for me: run terminal and type
"sudo apt-get install ndisgtk" and after that is done go here and get the win2k driver.
Then I just unzipped the driver file into the download file. Then I clicked
system-administration-windows wireless driver, and searched for
for downloads - rtl8191 (the file that you unzipped)-91_92_SE_Driver-win2k-net8192se.inf
and click install and close. Worked for me hope it works for you! I had to use WPA Personal
and tkip algorithms to make it all work, but it is working good for me.

I recieved the drivers direct from realtek. I had to compile them but as soon as I ran make and make install and rebooted it worked. Anyone need driver source? I cannot attach source since it's larger than the quota.

But I'm using my wireless every day with this version. It's pretty stable unless you have to switch hotspots. That may lead to a system hang. But that hang even happens on Windows 7.

If you can, please, do, i'm on the same boat, i've tried a few different drivers, etc, i've tried the linux drivers on their page to no sucsess, so if you have it i'll take it, thanks...
