RTL8187SE WIFI not working

(1/2) > >>

aduncan:
I'd be a happy bunny if I could get the wifiworking on my Advent 4211 (MSI Wind 100). I've searched the forum and tried various things, seems that the driver is broken for TC 3.XX.

Can anyone give me guidance on how to fix it?

tinypoodle:
That is inaccurate, it simply hasn't been compiled for the kernel used in TC 3.x

Using this driver here as we speak under TC 2.10   ;)

aduncan:
Sorry, I did realise that. Broken was not the right word. Spent some time today installing 2.1 and 2.11.6, and followed every guide I could find.

The rtl8187se-coffee.tcz file shows instructions on how to load the modules correctly with wlan0up, however it keeps telling me that directories or files do not exist. wicd-start complains in a similar fashion.

Has the directory structure of TC changed with each version, so that scripts which worked with older versions can no longer work?

Or am I just thick :P

tinypoodle:
Attached 2 scripts to load and unload the rtl8187se-coffee driver as found in the 2.x repo.

NOTE: The load script will only work for mounted extensions (default mode), as it accesses the path within /tmp/tcloop to circumvent the symlinked path which is wrong
