Description Mathieu Malaterre 2011-02-20 17:33:45 UTC
I did not manage to use my PCI wireless card RTL8191SE with linux 2.6.37.

It seems like drivers/staging/rtl8192e/r8192E_core.c is missing implementation for my hardware:

Comment 2 Mathieu Malaterre 2011-06-16 19:01:24 UTC
Looks like 3.0.0 will contains a driver for RTL8191SE
Comment 3 Larry Finger 2011-06-19 02:30:47 UTC
Yes. That driver is in 3.0.
