I am running SUSE 11.3 (64) on Toshiba L550 with Realtek RTL8191SE card.
I found a driver for it on their website which I tried to install it.
When I issue a make command I got an error message :
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2
Can anyone tell me what I am missing ?
Thanks
Please post result of
/sbin/lspci -nnk

There’s a thread on this same card here…
No internet, on a Compaq Pressario C5000
And from what I read (RTL8191SEvB) a bunch of folks are not having much joy.
Wait for @lwfinger to offer advice
Oops, I got the wrong USB id.
This is the thread that should have been posted above.

Summary : Linux driver for Realtek RTL8192SE PCI WiFi cards
Description :
This package contains a kernel module for Realtek RTL8192SE PCI "draft-N" WiFi cards.
The driver will be called "r8192se_pci.ko", the follwong PCI-IDs are supported:
10ec:8171
**10ec:8172**
10ec:8173
10ec:8174
10ec:8192
Assuming there is another way of connecting the machine to the internet (which is very likely as there are updates installed).
As root:
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/11.3-update/ driver_wireless
zypper refresh driver_wireless
zypper install rtl8192se-kmp-desktop rtl8192se-firmware
modprobe r8192se_pci
Cheers !
It seems it has installed the driver now as suggested by Akoellh. Now how do I check if its working ?
Thanks
Are you using network manager? (I would suggest it, you can select to use it in yast) If you are, you should just be able to select your network at this point similar to windows. Also, to have your wireless active you have to disconnect the wired network. (if you have it plugged in, and since you’re downloading packages I assume that’s the case)
Thank you. I tried configuring through Yast but got a message that Network is currently controlled by Network Manager and its settings can not be edited by Yast
That is correct
So now you configure connection in the network manager in the system tray
I have the same problem. I instaled Opensuse 12.1 and my card was recognized (realtek with the RTL8192SE driver). But it works just with Gnome. When I change to a KDE session networkmanager does not show any conection.
I dont what happens.
Use what works. But 12.1 is development. You are posting in the wrong part of the forum.
