Having Problem Whit My Rtl8187 Driver

Hi guy's

I have just installed opensuse 10.3 on a new Gateway laptop. I tried to install the driver for my RTL8187 wireless card but wen I do the ./makedrv this is what I get: (note the errors at the end)

Can any one help me whit this issue

Thank you

Hello,
I have a similar problem... I can not get my Realtek RTL8187 wireless working in opensuse 10.3 (I have 64 bit version). The wireless is on a Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI-AP edition motherboard, Implemented on a usb port: when running lsusb I get
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
so it is clearly there.

On http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_A...%28Wireless%29 a question mark is indicated for support under SL10.3. So I don't know if it is even supported. I tried several things, but none of them worked. If you can help me with one of the following, I would be very glad!

Here is what I tried to do:
1)
When installing 10,3 I noticed there was a kernel module installing for my wireless card: rtl8187-kmp-default. So I hoped it would work out-of-the-box. But it doesn't: it is not recognized my Yast and I don't know (and couldn't find on the web) how to configure the card when it is not visible with the Yast Network device manager. Does anyone know how to proceed here? In this topic http://forums.suselinuxsupport.de/in...howtopic=63404 bimasakti85 said the problem was solved in opensuse 10.3, but apparently it is not that trivial (at least not for me :huh: ). Is there a howto on the web?

2)
I downloaded the driver from the realtek website. In the Readme it is said that it is supported by opensuse 9.3, 10.1 and 10.2, but 10.3 is not mentioned. Anyhow I wanted to give it a try, because there seems to be no other possibility. But as you could guess it didn't compile. According to the installation instructions I have to run 'makedrv', which is a little script that runs 'make' in some directories. I get a lot of messages about incompatible pointer types and it exits with an error. You can find the output in attachment (for those who are interested...). I suspect there is no easy solution for this...

3)
I also tried to install using ndiswrapper. I followed the instructions on http://www.andrewd18.com/ndiswrapper/. I downloaded the windows drivers for the wireless from the asus website. I can get up to the installation of the driver, but the card didn't appear in Yast and also manually adding the card didn't work. Another problem which arises here is which driver I have to use: I tried the one for 64bit windows, XP and win98.

Hello Headhunter,

I am using SuSe 10.3 64bit as well. If you use the Knetworkmanager it would propably work with the rtl8187-kmp because it does on my System. When I tried to use Yast to configure my card, I didn't see it like you didn't.
I am using it momentarily because the SuSe driver keeps loosing packets. It doesn't matter if you use the SuSe for e-mail or surfing but it disturbs streaming (in and out) so I have no use.
The second disatwantage ist, that the KNetworkmanager start in KDE. I think the RTL8187 woldn't work in runlevel 3 (without KDE).

So I was looking for another driver. So I asked the support of realtek. They sent me on the next day a half tar-file with a driver whith should work on Suse 10.3. The missing files are downloadable with the older driver for Suse 10.2, and I am not sure if it was wise to mix them. And then there is the same error while kompilation like tcn_tech gets, when he tries to compile the file.

I've already tried a lot but need also help to finish.

kleiner...

I am using SuSe 10.3 64bit as well. If you use the Knetworkmanager it would propably work with the rtl8187-kmp because it does on my System.
[/b]

I don't know what happened, but on my system Knetworkmanager doesn't work: when I start it, everything is grayed out and I can not use it to control any network card (not even the wired one, which works well). I was also thinking about sending a mail to realtek with the compilation error messages. Maybe they can fix it...
