Comment 215 for bug 401126

Carlton,

If I am not mistaken, that is not the same version, the chip in your card should be the RTL8191SU, an USB version of the chip we have that is RTL8191SE (the pcie version). I believe there are two in kernel modules for that chip, one on the main kernel bench that is ate the time incomplete but follows the kernel coding rules, and another one on the staging area that is quite a mess when you look at the code but seems to work... By the naming of the module, I think you are using the staging driver.

Back on topic, I have been using the 14 version of the driver from realtek with no problems on my 32 bit gentoo system with kernel 2.6.33-rc5, but looking at the code, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets, if the SU version driver looks anything close to that, the chances of inclusion on the mainstream kernel are quite slim!
