I have a RTL81817 chipset in my USB wireless network adapter. I installed the driver, but it still didn’t work.
In Yast->Hardware->Hardware Information->USB the following details are displayed:

When I type the command
dmesg | grep firmware
I get the following lines:
<4> 5.261852] intel_rng: Firmware space is locked read-only. If you can't or

and when I type
dmesg | grep rtl8187L
I get the following lines:

What is the error here? Is it something that I haven’t installed or is it another problem?
