well I have the following usb stick
| Code: | 2010-04-14T10:37:19.312438+02:00 localhost kernel: [ 5354.732098] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3

this is my kernel
| Code: | | Linux bumblebee 2.6.33-tuxonice #12 SMP Wed Apr 14 09:05:50 CEST 2010 i686 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
there is no option for this card in the kernel.
For this I try to use the following driver from Realtek
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188SU
( I know this is for 8188SU but this is the best I've found )
if I now try to make the driver I get this:
| Code: | make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.33-tuxonice/build M=/root/digitus/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.0006.20100226 modules

Does anyone has experience with this, or any clue what is wrong. Or do I miss something in the kernel ?

| Did you check if git-sources 2.6.34 include your driver ? |

I tried the patch on "kernel-2.6.38-gentoo-r6", and I'm getting the following compilation error. Once I uncheck "Staging drivers (STAGING)", build goes OK, but the USB network device is not detected. Please guide me on what to look for. Thank you.

Just to keep everyone informed, here is what worked.
| Code: | # lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
# uname -r
2.6.39-gentoo-r3
|
I also had to get the firmware, which was conveniently in the Portage.
| Code: | | emerge -v linux-firmware |
I didn't need to bother with the patches, because the latest kernel (2.6.39 in this case) had RTL8192SU as a staging driver
| Code: | Device Drivers
Staging drivers (STAGING)
Exclude Staging drivers from being built (STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD, uncheck)
RealTek RTL8712U (RTL8192SU) Wireless LAN NIC driver (R8712U)
Realtek RTL8712U AP code (R8712_AP)
|
Once all the pieces were together, it just worked. I'm not able to use it with hostapd (i.e. make my laptop act like an access point), but I guess that's not supported with this network interface (yet).
