I use Ubuntu Linux but the HP support told me you may have support. I’m lookin after any driver, but 2.6.38 kernel or newer would the best. Is there a possibility that I can use my notebook?
If you know what driver you want you can use driver-select:
./scripts/driver-select
and then
Build:
Build the latest Linux wireless subsystem:
cd compat-wireless-$(date -I) make
Install:
We use the updates/ directory so your distribution’s drivers are left intact. By default depmod will search this directory first, but if you find that it does not then check that your depmod.conf file lists the search order correctly with updates appearing first (before built-in).

As has been described many tines in this forum, compat-wireless is available as
a package installable with YaST or zypper. To get it, run the following command:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless \
/openSUSE_11.4 Wireless
Next, start YaST => Software Management and search for compat-wireless. You
should select “compat-wireless-kmp-XXXXXX”, where the XXXXXX matches what you
see with the ‘uname -r’ command. It will be “default” or “desktop”. After
thatpackage is installed, and the system is rebooted, your wireless should work.
Hi
On my opensuse 12.1 X64 i have installed compat-kernel for wireless but on network manager i can’t use another module, the only choise given is 8192se
how can i choice good driver ?
regards

As stated in the stickies and in too many posts to count, you must provide the
PCI ID for your device using the ‘/sbin/lspci -nn’ command. That is the
information that the kernel uses to load a driver. You CANNOT specify a driver
in NeworkManager, nor in any other user-space utility! If the kernel is loading
rtl8192se, then the device is an RTL8192SE.

Perhaps. Have you installed the kernel-firmware package? Check if the dmesg
output mentions that firmware is missing.
Hi
kernel-firmware is installed version 1.10.1
dmesg tell me a lot of things and i see for exemple that’s
2213.300217] wlan0: authenticate with f4:ca:e5:fe:25:34 (try 1)
2213.301959] wlan0: authenticated
2213.302292] wlan0: associate with f4:ca:e5:fe:25:34 (try 1)
2213.324810] wlan0: RX AssocResp from f4:ca:e5:fe:25:34 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=2)
2213.324816] wlan0: associated
2213.336445] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready
should i put some parameters for the module in modules.conf file ?
the behavior of the card is strange for exemple in network manager i did’nt see wireless with wep security but the same network without security (open) is available ?
EDIT : the rate is at maximum 160 Ko/sec instead of 700-800 Ko/sec with my other PC

The device authenticated and associated. What more could you want? You can add
any parameters that the driver accepts; however, I see no reason to do so. \
The driver will work with WPA, WPA2, and WEP. Did you enter the hex key for WEP?
The passphrase WILL NOT WORK!

What is a Ko? Driver rtl8192se will transmit and receive about 80 Mbps when
iperf is used to measure throughput. Any rate indication other than measured
throughput is useless.
bit rate with this wireless card is 10 less than normal other wireless PC
It is difficult to explain what append
If i disconnet the wireless connexion then on the right windows in network manager my WEP secure network disapear i only see the unsecure network. I am unable to connect again to WEP network i should harware stop et restart wireless to be able to see again the wep network
is that’s clear ?
i ask again is any parametrers i can try for this module ?

precision
I did the same test with one other connexion and i got the same result. so looks like a bug problem for kdenetwork manager not in relation with my rate problem

As with any module, “modinfo rtl8192se” will list the parameters.

I switched to my RTL8192SE and ran some tests with netperf. The setup has test
computer connected via an 802.11n link (270 Mbps max) to the AP. The netserver
process is running on a host that has a wired connection to the AP/router. My
script runs 10 RX and 10 TX samples and outputs the maximum, minimum, mean and
standard deviation of the results in megabits per second. For this test, I got
the following:
TCP_MAERTS Test: 63.75 62.14 68.10 60.26 60.89 53.25 53.56 64.57 64.73 60.56
RX Results: max 68.10, min 53.25. Mean 61.18(4.49)
TCP_STREAM Test: 53.74 66.88 65.76 49.43 51.03 63.68 50.23 51.12 57.47 50.13
TX Results: max 66.88, min 49.43. Mean 55.95(6.63)
If I do the calculation correctly, the max RX rate was 8500 Ko/sec, and TX was
almost 8400 Ko/sec. If I used an 802.11g connectio0n, the maximum rate would
have been near the theoretical maximum rate of 27 Mbps.

Those kinds of things are handled upstream. For the most part, any wireless
driver that needs a software-based MAC layer receives formatted packets from
upstream. In that case, that means mac80211 and friends. The AP controls the
channel and many other things. Check out what parameters are available with iw
to see what you can set in mac80211.

These parameters are those of the AP, the ones that result from the negotiation
between the driver and the AP, or the state of the connection. Change the AP
setup if you do not like them. Which one would you change?
