Comment 283 for bug 401126

@Ken Nelan: Sounds like your issue is the command. You say you're using "sudo make install", yes?

If that is the case, for this set of drivers that doesn't seem to work. You _must_ build the drivers with "su", not "sudo".

For Ubuntu, use these terminal commands:
$ sudo su
(enter sudo password)
$ make; make install; modprobe rtl8192se_pci

(I do this with a few differences, since I run on Fedora, but that's the gist of it)

Hope that helps.
