Thread: Usb wifi dongle driver issue


hey picked inland wifi dongle , i'm having issue installing drivers.
http://inlandproduct.com/prominiusbtowifidongle.aspx

included readme.txt comes following installation methods
<<method 1>>
runing scripts accomplish operations including building modules
source code, installing driver kernel , starting nic.
1. build drivers source code
make

2. install driver kernel
make install
reboot

3. bring wlan if nic not brought gui, such networkmanager
ifconfig wlan0
note: use ifconfig check whether wlan0 brought , use iwconfig check wlan interface name,
since may change wlan0 wlan1,etc.

<<method 2>>
or load driver module kernel , start nic.
1. build drivers source code
make
2. copy firmware /lib/firmware/ or /lib/firmware/(kernel_version)/
cp -rf firmware/rtl8192su /lib/firmware
or
cp -rf firmware/rtl8192su /lib/firmware/(kernel_version)
note: depends on whether (kernel_version) subdirectory exists under /lib/firmware

3. load driver module kernel , start nic.
./wlan0up
note: when "insmod: error inserting 'xxxx.ko': -1 file exists" comes out
after run ./wlan0up, please run ./wlan0down first, should
ok..
note: if see message of "unkown symbol" during ./wlan0up, it
is suggested build driver <<method 1>>.
and here's happened when try run make command
