rtl8192su vs rtl8192u

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

 



Hello!

What is the difference between rtl8192su and rtl8192u?  I see that both
drivers have almost equivalent device tables.  rtl8192su supports two
additional devices compared to rtl8192u, but all other devices are
claimed by both drivers.

Are rtl8192su and rtl8192u supposed to support the same hardware?  This
message suggests otherwise:
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/2009-November/002879.html

The reason I'm asking is that I have bought a wireless device from
hiroinc.com, which is identified by lsusb as 0bda:8171.

That ID is not in rtl8192su or rtl8192u device tables.  If I add the ID,
rtl8192su works, rtl8192u doesn't:

[ 7993.856921] rtl819xU:EEPROM ID is invalid(is 0x0(should be 0x8129)

[ 8012.673341] usb 1-8: firmware: requesting RTL8192U/main.img
[ 8062.678709] rtl819xU:Download Firmware: Put code fail!

Before I submit the patch for the new ID, I would like to know whether
rtl8192u is supposed to support the same devices as rtl8192su.
