rtl8191se wireless card driver install.

English Hardware
1

I have tired everything I know how to do and I can not install the driver for the rtl8191se. I read the instructions that say to run:

sudo make

I have been through this before with Fedora. Ubuntu supported my wireless card but not my display so I am switching to this OS. Does anyone know how to install the driver on 11.4 suse?

joecamel@linux-1b2w:~/Downloads/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011> sudo makemake -C /lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop/build M=/home/joecamel/Downloads/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0003.0620.2011 modules

You ought to update your system before you even consider it.

Have you considered using a new kernel, it may be supported there. But Larry will know for sure.

have a look at the three stickies at the top of the wireless forum
http://tinyurl.com/4lq2s9z, in those you will probably find all the
instructions you need to get going…if not, post to the wireless forum
as instructed in those stickies (you are advised what information to post)

You also need to install the Linux Kernel Development Pattern through Yast - Software - Software Management

The RTL8192SE/RTL8191SE devices are supported in kernel 3.0.

Copying the instructions from caf4926,

Add this repo:
‘Index of /repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard’
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/)
And switch to it
You may have to consider video drivers

Option 1 will get you kernel 3.1-rc3, and will soon get you -rc4. It is
bleeding-edge, but I have been using -rc3 for about a week, and -rc4 today
without any problems. If you are using a proprietary graphics driver, you will
have to build it yourself.

With option 2, you should select the 3.0.4 kernel. Again, building a prop.
graphics driver will be required.

You will also need to install the kernel-firmware package.

The error you got when building the driver indicates that you do not have the
kernel-devel package installed. If you go with option 2, that will be automatic.
