I just got a new platform with the RTL8187SE wifi card (PCI-e).
Damn it doesn't work on Ubuntu 8.10 with native kernel module rtl8180.ko........Orz
I think maybe the device ID is not supported (my device ID is 10ec:8199).
I try to grep some useful infomation about source code to install by myself.
And, now it works!
See below..;-):
1. Download the source code deb package from here. (name: rtl8187se-source_1023.0928.2008_all.deb)
2. I DO NOT want to use dpkg to install this, so I use command dpkg --extract to extract the src only.
!! CHECK THE README FILE INSIDE THE PACKAGE BEFORE YOU DO ANY THING !!
3. $ cd ./modules/rtl8187se
4. $ sudo ./makecln; sudo ./makedrv
5. $ sudo ./wlan0up (this is a test for new kernel module r8180.ko that we just made.)
If there is no problem,
6. $ sudo ./wlan0down; sudo ./install
System will automatically depmod -a and reboot. Done..;-)
BTW, the kernel for this process is 2.6.27-7-generic.
Cyber memos for my personal knowledge.
