Comment 46 for bug 401126

Hi,

I was very happy finding an obvious working driver here that should support my 64 bit system.
The installation went fine, no error messages. Dmesg tells something about the driver but nothing about detecting the device. unfortunately the interface doesn't appear, too.
By the way: It's the same message equal if the firmware is saved in /lib/firmware/rtl8192se or not.
The Kernel is a .31 but there is no difference between this version and the latest .32-rc5
The device is a rtl 8192 installed on samsung notebook with an intel core 2 duo. the kernel is compiled fitting to this cpu.

I already tried the staging driver for rtl8192E from the 32-rc5 kernel but it comes to a kernel panic if i want to bring the interface up. The developer of this staging driver told me, that this could be because I'am using a 64bit kernel. Perhaps that could help?!

There's something more: lspci tells me that it's an rtl8192, the staging driver recognises an rtl8192 E. Perhaps the rtl8192 SE driver that is offered here does NOT support my interface? But that seemes to be strange because I've read that above that it even supports 8172 for example.

Is there anybody with an idea?
