I got a wireless adapter (N) in my PC but the driver from the distribution does not work very well. The connection is always dropping. I found in multiple forums the solution (download source from ASUS and compile it) … the problem I have is that I can’t execute the ‘make’ command successfully. Can someone help me ?
I have openSUSE 12.2 (64 bits) and my wireless adapter is a ASUS PCE-N10 (from what I read, the driver should be RTL8192CE - I’m not 100% sure). BTW, when looking in network manager, my N adapter shows as a B/G adapter.

Now that you included the PCI IDs, I can tell you that rtl8192ce is the correct
driver for you. With some versions of the RTL8188CE, you need to have a new
kernel, or use the compat-wireless, as described in the thread that you read.
Unfortunately, the PCI ID is not sufficient to tell if your device is one of them.
You need to be aware that the vendor driver needs a lot of changes to work with
64-bit systems and newer kernels. I have made those changes before I pushed
the driver into the kernel, thus I do not provide any support for people using
those vendor drivers.
I now see that I need the RTL8188CE driver … is the RTL8192CE good
for me ?
Thank you very much for the precious help.

Hi
Yes the RTL8192CE is the one that supports your device;
pci:v000010ECd00008176sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
Try it out, it can always be uninstalled Else if you post in the
wireless sub forum, the wireless driver developer for that modules hangs
out there and will help you out.
