Summary: I can't install wifi card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 [chipset Realtek RTL8188SU] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678024 Summary: I can't install wifi card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 [chipset Realtek RTL8188SU] Product: Fedora Localization Version: unspecified Platform: x86_64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: unspecified Component: Polish [pl] AssignedTo: piotrdrag(a)gmail.com ReportedBy: przedniczek(a)gmail.com QAContact: piotrdrag(a)gmail.com CC: fedora-trans-pl(a)redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Created attachment 479121 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=479121 Content of /var/log/messages from today Description of problem: I'm trying to install wireless card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 (with Realtek chipset: RTL8188SU) on Fedora 14 64bit. When I plug card to USB port, the system freezes up and I cannot do anything. I tried to compile & install drivers from either enclosed CD or newest driver from chipset vendor site (http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&...). I have even tried to do this driver installation with kmod-staging but it failed in the same way. I'm sure that the card is in 100% OK because it works under Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. I'm just wondering if this is because of lack of the card firmware. Under Ubuntu I have catalogue /lib/firmware/RTL8192SE (in FC 14 I haven't) with 3 files: rtl8192sfw.bin, rtl8192sfw74.bin, rtl8192sfw492.bin. Coping it into FC didn't help. I should add that under this Fedora I checked another card and it's working properly. In my humble opinion this system freeze doesn't look like kernel panic caused by kmod-staging, because: + the keybords LEDs aren't blinking and I haven't found it in system logs (see enclosed file) + I get it even without kmod-staging. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14 64 bit (uname -r : 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64) with rpmfusion and all updates. Additional package kmod-staging: kmod-staging.x86_64 0:2.6.35.10-1.fc14.1 Wireless card Pentagram horNet P 6132-10 but you can test it with any card based on Realtek chipset RTL 8188 SU (it's quite common). How reproducible: Quite well. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Before installing try to plug card into USB port - system freezes so hard reset needed. 2. Download latest linux drivers from chipset vendor site: http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&... 3. Change current user to root, and unpack tar archive from driver folder into /usr/src/ 4. Change current folder to: /usr/src/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20101111 5. make 6. make install Content of Makefile: where: I checked this manually and I have 8712u.ko in .../net/wireless/ 7. modprobe 8712u (it returns nothing so it's OK) 8. lsmod | grep 8712u (it returns single line sth like "8712u 334223 0" so it's OK. 9. Now I have installed kernel module, but hardly had I plugged card into USB port, the system freezed up. 10. I tried point 2-9 with and without kmod-staging (no results). 11. I copied firmware (/lib/firmware/RTL8192SE) from Ubuntu 10.10 but with no results. Actual results: Whenever I plug this card to USB the system freezes. Expected results: Card working properly.
