First, you must install the kernel source code and kernel header files (many of these releases are not automatically installed ):

Zypper in kernel-source kernel-devel kernel-firmware kernel-desktop-devel kernel-devel

Now the kernel source code 2.6.37 should be added under the/usr/src directory:

OpenSUSE:/usr/src/linux # ls/usr/srclinux linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 linux-obj packages

Then go to the 336 driver directory and copy the config file to/usr/src/linux (linux is a soft connection to the linux-2.6.37.1-1.2 ),

In this way, the config error cannot be found during compilation.

If the chip is 8192 (336v2), switch to the 336v2 directory and start the operation:

The following problems still occur during compilation. What is the problem?

/Home/wolf/temp/NW336v2/Linux/RTL8192CU_8188CUS_8188CE-VAU_linux_v2.0.974.20100803/driver/rtl8192CU_linux_v2.0.974.20100803/OS _dep/osdep_service.c: 291: 2: error: implicit declaration function 'init _ MUTEX'

This is because the new kernel uses sema_init () instead of init_MUTEX (), so init_MUTEX (prwlock) in OS _dep/osdep_service.c is modified to sema_init (prwlock, 1 ).

Make it after you finish the work.

# Make

If you can't wait to try the following

# Insmod 8192cu. ko

You can install the module for a long time.

# Make install

You can also use

# Modprobe 8192cu. ko

Open and load the module.

In openSUSE, I used the command line method to access the Internet, but later I thought it was good to use networkmanager, so I used networkmanager to access the Internet.

(It can be set through yast. It is easy to conflict with each other rather than mixed use)

The kernel versions of Debian Squeeze (stable) and Debian Wheezy are 2.6.32, but you may need to pay attention to them during installation.

After the kernel source code and header file are installed in Debian Wheezy (only header files are required ), A soft connection to/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build to/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 is automatically created:

Wolf @ wheezy :~ $ Ls-l/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/buildlrwxrwxrwx 1 root 35 March 23 13:02/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build->/usr/src linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686

Therefore, you can save one step during compilation (there is no such inexplicable error) and install

Kernel header file and source code:

# Aptitude install linux-source-2.6.32 linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686

Then make will also appear when the error, said no/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common/autoconf_rtl8192c_usb_linux.h,

You need to know the autoconf_rtl8192c_usb_linux.h server in/usr/src/linux/headers-2.6.32-5-common. (It is strange why the common header file is used ).

You do not need to copy the config file, but the init_MUTEX (prwlock) should be changed to sema_init (prwlock, 1) (because this is in the kernel)

Debian Sid is similar to Wheezy.

In Debian Squeeze, although the 2.6.32 kernel is also used, but we didn't automatically add the soft connection mentioned above, so when making, will there be

/Lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build error occurs. In this case, you only need to create a connection (based on the above steps)

# Ln-s/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-686/build/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686/

The rest is the same as Debian Wheezy and Sid.

**************************************** **************************************** *****************************

In Mandriva 2010.2, it seems to be simpler. You only need to change init_MUTEX (prwlock) to sema_init (prwlock, 1 ),

Then install the Kernel File and kernel source code.

[Root @ localhost src] # uprmi kernel-desktop586-2.6.33.7-2mnb kernel-desktop586-devel-2.6.33.7-2mnb [root @ localhost src] # pwd/usr/src [root @ localhost src] # lslinux-2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb/

Then make compilation.

**************************************** **************************************** **********************************

The latest kernel 2.6.39 already has the firmware for this Nic, so you do not need to manually install it. Download the firmware and set it

Firmware-realtek

**************************************** **************************************** **************************************** ****************

When the kernel module 8192cu. ko is compiled in the latest Mageia 1 (kernel 2.6.38), it is found that insmode is unsuccessful and appears

1 Invalid module format

This is because the running kernel version is inconsistent with the kernel version (header file) linked during compilation. Originally, the kernel header file I installed was:

Kernel-tmb-desktop-devel-2.6.38.7-1.mga
Instead of the header file of the running kernel on my PC, the header file of the running kernel should be:

Kernel-desktop-devel-2.6.38.7-1.mga

Therefore, the compilation and loading are successful!
