I have a realtek RTL8191SE wireless card
I download a linux driver from the official website here : [url]
This is what i did :
step 1 : #make
step 2 : #make install
step 3 : #modprobe 8712u.ko
step1 ok
step2 ok
step3 : FATAL: Module 8712u.ko not found. (but this file exists)
I don't know if it is compatible with my centos5.4 did you know how to get the wireless work ?
I am looking into 1026TT-TF and 6016TT-TF for a CentOS 5.4 or 5.5 64bit installation:
SuperMicro 6016TT-TF
SuperMicro 1026TT-TF
It will be used as a Web-server mostly. Since they are twin nodes, one node will be one strong firewall. I have been checking all over and I can't find any driver, bios, or issues with this specific motherboard from Supermicro and Intel 5500/5600 series CPUs. Is there anything that would concern you with these servers?
I am also looking to put in a 4-port Gigabit LAN card into one node which I doubt makes any difference in the whole equation. Further more, and most importantly, the first one takes only 2.5" HDDs and the second option accepts 3.5" HDDs. Other than size availability and price, are there any concerns regarding performance when chosing one over the other? System which accepts 3.5" HDDs only takes two per node so I have to opt for 1TB drives. For the 2.5" system I can go with 4 of 2.5" HDDs of 500GB in size. Either of options selected will be setup in RAID-1.
I have installed Centos 5.6 (32 bit) in a virtual machine and would like to know if it is possible to update it to a 64 bit installation (probably I will also need to move to another version of the vm player too) or if there is any kind of compatibility lib(s)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Thinkpad X100e with Realtek 8191SE wireless, which I am having little luck getting to work with WEP in Debian Squeeze.The only Linux driver for this wireless chipset is r8192se_pci from Realtek (out-of-tree, but GPL; includes binary firmware); I can vouch for this, having built wireless-testing from git on the 19th. After installing the headers and building the driver from source (no warnings), the module loaded fine.When I try configuring wlan0, it appears to work.
I go ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 key <key hidden> essid <essid>
iwlist wlan0 scanning
iwconfig
dhclient wlan0 #I've also tried with 'busybox udhcpc -i wlan0'
iwconfig shows association has succeeded; both dhclient and udhcpc succeed in getting a dhcp lease.But if I try accessing the network (busybox ping or links2), I get "Network is unreachable"; aptitude reports a 'temporary failure to connect'.If I do not boot with the 'quiet' boot parameter, r8192se begins randomly spewing messages through the console right about this time, indicating that the driver may be randomly disconnecting.
Kernel: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686
Debian squeeze, installed via debootstrap from Ubuntu.
Under Ubuntu, this driver is patched into the kernel; I have a functional connection with WEP under 2.6.35-24-generic on Ubuntu 10.10.wpa_supplicant on Ubuntu, however, causes random disconnects. Switching the card is not really an option, as Lenovo has a BIOS whitelist that prevents booting with an 'unauthorized' wireless card.

I want to put centOS on a laptop with the i7-640M processor. I'm trying to figure out before I purchase a laptop which laptop (if any) will work sufficiently well with centOS. The software I'll be running is only qualified on centOS.Where do I look to find such information?Specifically I'm considering the hp online configurable dv5t laptop with the i7-640M processor.
I'm planning to leave it in a closet most of the time and VNC over VPN to get to it.Digressing still further, the performance for a single threaded application as well as the price and power consumption for "always on" make it a good choice for a server applicaion... not to mention the battery backup in the event of power failure. It may not be designed to operate under high CPU load for extended periods of time so I my use external fans to improve ventilation around the unit or take other steps to mitigate a cooling deficiency.Digressing yet still further, yes I do need the performance of the i7 so lower power processors are not an option. I just really only need one or sometimes 2 cores at most making the 32nm i7-640M ideal.
I have used google and read a few topics here at this forum. ( especially this Getting Your Wireless to Work was very interesting for me ) But it is useless for me, because I am newborn in GNU/Linux. I use openSUSE 11.3 with KDE. I have read, that you need some informations about my hw. I hope these are

I have a Compaq Presario CQ42-195TX laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) installed on it and fully updated. It has a Realtek RTL8191SE wireless chipset which I am having trouble with - its wired connection is working perfectly.After starting up, I am able to see and connect to wireless networks. Once connected, the wireless functions correctly for a very brief period (under 10 seconds) in which I am able to access the Internet and so forth. The connection then stops working - although it doesn't get disconnected. When I say it "stops working", I mean I can no longer access the Internet and trying to ping the router gives me a "Destination Host Unreachable" error. If I disconnect from the network I cannot reconnect, nor can I connect to any other network.- though I can still see the list of available networks.
I thought that maybe this was a 64-bit issue, but I tried the Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit live CD and experienced the same problem.Please note that while this thread is about the RTL8191SE chipset, the RTL819xSE chipsets all use the same driver.Below are the results of various commands while connected to the network but after the connection has stopped functioning correctly:lspci -nn | grep "Realtek"

I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5061 laptop and dual-boot Windows 7 and Kubuntu Lucid Lynx. Windows detects and connects to the wireless network just fine, but in Kubuntu it will detect the network but can't connect to it. Sometimes Network Manager will say it's connected, but Konqueror can't load any websites. Plugging in an ethernet cable doesn't give me access to the internet, either.

How To: Uninstall/Remove Old Wireless Driver to make way for New Driver (RTL8191SE)?
Here's the new driver:
I have been having trouble with my wireless connection intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly (sometimes every couple of seconds). I posted a thread about this here on Ubuntu Forums titled: Ubuntu 10.45 & NetworkManager Applet 8.0: Connects & Disconnects Frequently.
No wireless networking. The ethernet works fine, and the wireless interface itself works well in Windows 7 (dual boot). Tried: Ndiswrapper, notoriously quirky, does not seem to work with the XP driver (the oldest driver available for the RTL8191SE). The linux driver offered on the manufacturer's website lacks any installation instructions. I have no clue how to install a linux driver. SUSE seems to have two network managers that are constantly complaining about control: Network Manager and Yast. Neither are great and I am left missing my Ubuntu.
However, my audio only seems to work on SUSE. I have tried almost every distro on this machine. Ubuntu lacked sound and wireless, Fedora played startup sounds, but would not play an mp3 or wav file (fiddling with the mixer did not help). And Fedora also lacked wireless support. PCLinuxOS, my favorite, lacked sound and wireless. Tried some oldies too. ELE, DSL, Puppy, Ubuntu Netbook remix, Vector, Browserpuppy, Crunchbang, Cruncheee (just for experimental sakes) and probably others I am not remembering. So far, installing a free linux distro has cost me 14 dvd-R's and countless hours of installing, reformatting and reinstalling. Part of me really wanted crunchbang to work, as I love the minimalism and blacked-out theme.
I need wireless network access. The wireless light remains red in Linux and pressing the key does nothing to start the device. In Windows 7 it always lights white and works perfectly. Why hasn't SUSE adopted a gui for ndiswrapper? Other distros have it. Why is my brand new laptop, which is by no means abnormal in make or configuration, not 100% supported natively by any Linux distro? I just updated to the new kernel yesterday. So I should be running the most modern operating system available. Yet good-ol Windows 7 is my only fully functional environment.
I have an e-machines flat pannel monitor and I often find it's not supported. That, or I have to use 800x600 resolution. I'm on XP right now on a compaq and I have to settle with 1024x768. Which is stretched out. I also use a linksys USB adapter for internet and it must work with-out effort on my part. It works with the latest versions of ubuntu, puppy, Damn Small Linux and a few others. Are there any distros that might work for me? And by the way, I get the correct resolution (I can't remember what it is) with my e-machines W3052.

I have a MacBook Pro 6,2, currently with 4 Gigs of Ram, but I'm planning on upgrading that to 8 Gigs. I have read of trouble with some MacBooks not booting Ubuntu with more than 6 Gigs.
I was wondering if 11.04 fixes anything from the previous versions... The trackpad,being the main thing.
As a newbie for linux, I am really confused about gcc version. Aren't the new ones compatible the old ones? But online there is always someone says ,he should install a old suitalbe one for his IDE. I am really confused. If it needs a long words to express the reason clearly, a link or some books you recommend is a good answer.

Ok, so I want to install the ubuntu UNR on my desktop. is that possible ?
I have tried various times to install it on my laptop in it just stuck every single time at the end of installation. so I thought there might be a problem with compatibility for computers other than netbooks. My laptop is a thoshiba satellite a300 series laptop, with a core2due t5750 intel processor and 3GB DDR2 667Mhz (i'll post full specification if required ). so now I want to install it on my desktop, Dual-Core intel cpu e5300 2GB of ram @ 800Mhz Asrok G41M-VS2 motherboard
I got windows 7 running on the desktop now.
Are ubuntu- 64 bit packages I am using on my core 2 duo desktop compatible with core i3? I am thinking of buying new core i3 laptop as I am moving to new city ..

Do any of you know if games are still working well with this combination? I'm looking to play WoW at some point, Oblivion + Expansion/Mods, any FPS available.
The one thing that keeps my XP partition alive is MS Word. Using both packages at a far more basic level than you guys by the sounds of it, but still the formatting is a nightmare. I've been using and trying out a number of distros over the past year or so and everything I need is right here. Its just so annoying theres one thing that stops me converting all together. I could write a perfect essay up in Open Office and take it into college. Open it up on their MS Word and its all goes to pot. Everything all over the place, and I have to realign margins, paragraphs etc etc. Regardless to file format its saved in, I've tried them all!

I'm in computer sales and I have a customer that wants to replace all his macs and windows computers with ubuntu. I don't know anything about linux but I heard that there is a strong community behind ubuntu He's asked me to send him an evaluation unit so that he can test it out with ubuntu and see how well it works. I personally support his idea of going with reliable, bare minimum spec computers to do a whole overhaul. But I don't want him to deal with compatibility issues on a regular basis..I was looking at the Dell D620-D630, what are your thoughts on these machines running ubuntu?
