Sorry, I've noticed there was a typo in my script. I had left a "m" out of one of the "/firmware/"'s. Script should be... # aptitude install unzip && exit $ wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa130_revC/Drivers/dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ unzip dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ su # mkdir -p /lib/firmware/RTL8192U # cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /lib/firmware/RTL8192U From: ianstewart56(a)hotmail.com To: wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 14:20:33 +1200 Subject: Re: [wlug] Debian Download - Realtek RTL 8192SU / D-link DWA-131 driver installation Hi Wolfgang, In one of your previous e-mails you stated... "A further complication is that my wi-fi adaptor, D-link DWA-131 (Realtek RTL 8192SU), is not correctly installed by Suse 12.1 or Mageia-2-x86-64" I checked Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity) release and Debian V6.0.4 LIVE release (upgraded on-line to V6.0.5) and neither of these releases includes the drivers for the Realtek RTL 8192SU wireless LAN adapter. The method I used to check was to look in the /lib/firmware/ folder for the directory RTL8192U, ...and I found it doesn't exist. If you wish to install drivers for the Realtek RTL 8192SU / D-link DWA-131 then I suggest you refer to this Debian wiki page... http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x The instructions and script for installation on Debian Squeeze (V6.0.x) are also suitable for Ubuntu (12.04). The instructions suggest that the driver files are placed in /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U. However, I didn't do this and I don't know if this works or not. What I did was to place the three driver related files (boot.img, data.img, and main.img) in /lib/firmware/RTL8192U I used the installation script provided on the Debian wiki page, but I modified it slightly to be as follows... # aptitude install unzip && exit $ wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa130_revC/Drivers/dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ unzip dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ su # mkdir -p /lib/firware/RTL8192U # cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /lib/firmware/RTL8192U If the USB Wireless LAN adapter doesn't immediately commence operation then reboot. Regards, Ian. PS: If you'd like to download the latest Debian LIVE iso image and burn it to a DVD to try it out or install it, then goto here... http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/ ...and download, say,... debian-live-6.0.4-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso 29-Jan-2012 12:12 1.1G Note: This iso is currently V6.0.4, but once you've installed it, you can do an on-line update that will take your system to V6.0.5. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug
