The medley's box comprises a wireless "N" USB dongle which uses a Realtek RTL8192SU chip.
I have thought about using it with my Linux desktop PC as well but dmesg complains about lacking firmwares; Linux looks into /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/ for a file named rtl8192sfw.bin .
My configuration
- OpenSuse 11.2
- KDE
- Network is managed by NetworkManager
Procedure
- Download the Realtek RTL8192SE Linux's driver (RTL8192SE is not a typo) from Realtek site ;the file's name resembles rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010
- Extract files from the archive, the file you are looking for is located into /rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010/firmware/RTL8192SE subfolder
- Using the Linux's shell, go superuser (root password is needed): su
- Create the lacking folder: mkdir /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/
- Copy the lacking file(from the archive's root): cp /rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010/firmware/RTL8192SE/rtl8192sfw.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/rtl8192sfw.bin
- Your PC is now able to use the RTL8192SU, connect the USB stick with your PC
- NetworkManager may add the new WiFi adapter to the tray's menu
- Have fun ;-)
