It was suggested to me that I use the compat-wireless drivers, of which I did I tried loading the rtlwifi with rtl8192ce, but that didn't work and didn't see my card, but then I guess that would be expected as the aliases were not there for my card. although the DID is mentioned in the pci.h, so I was wondering would this driver work with my card, or should I be looking elsewhere? Any input on advice on this card would be appreciated thanks Arif Ali -- Arif AliHello, Arif. I have a RTL8191SEvA card, not a vB. But I guess that should work. The vendor and product ID are 0x10ec (Realtek) and 0x8171. It's working very nicely with rtl8192se driver from rtlwifi from 3.0-rc1. That support does not exist for 2.6.39 or previous versions of Linux. Regards, Cascardo.
OK, will try the 3.0-rc1 kernel from ubuntu, see if it will work, thanks for your reply
