Dear all,

   As far as I know driver for rtl8192su will be added to kernel
2.6.38. By any chance does anyone knows if rtl8192se will make it into
this release ?

As part of our collaborative effort, Realtek has sent me a
mac80211-based
driver for the RTL8192SE. It will be submitted to the wireless
mailing list
for review once the driver for the RTL8192CU is accepted. The
earliest this
would happen is 2.6.39, but I think 2.6.40 is more realistic. I also
have a
driver for the RTL8192DE that will follow the RTL8192SE.

Dear Larry,

   Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question.
   Would it be possible to be part of some kind of testing group for
this 'new' driver. I have been using r8192se_pci (*) for a couple of
days, but I have the feeling this driver keeps filling in my
computer's memory. I have to reboot to clean the memory (I have not
found any other way).

Using linux 2.6.37 from debian unstable

It will take me a few days, but I should be able to send you patches to
incorporate the rtl8192se driver.

I also volunteer to test this new driver. I often have problems with the
current driver provided by Realtek. It seems the connexion is quite
unstable and I often get kernel panic like this one:

I already asked realtek support about this but I didn't get a lot of
help from them. So, I would be interested to see if the new driver you
talked about perfoms better.

Thanks in advance,

François Valenduc
