Centos 5.5 on a Toshiba Satellite L1500D - Wireless networking - Realtek 8172

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I just installed Centos 5.5 x86_64 on a new Toshiba Satellite L1500D.

Everything seems to work (so far) other than the wireless networking; 

lscpi tells me:
0e:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Unknown
device 8172 (rev 10)

I discovered that I need the realtek driver, so I found and downloaded
these:

rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1012.2009_64bit.tar.gz
rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010.tar.gz

The version dated 2010 appears to be newer, but I can't find one of them
that says "64bit" so I'm not sure if I can actually use it or not.

I un-tarred it into /usr/src, then copied the contents of the firmware
directory to /lib/firmware.

When I try to run the make command I get this error.  I get the same
error regardless of which of the two driver archives I use.

What am I doing wrong?  Is there an easier way to get this working?
