[arch-general] Wi-Fi rtl8192s

Wed Feb 8 17:01:26 EST 2012

The SEMPRE WU-300 isn't a rtl8192S, but rtl8191S ;) [1]. But to unzip
this driver source, the new tried to overwrite the files of the other
driver. Anyway, I removed the old driver source and tried again. As
expected it didn't build:

[spinymouse at archlinux src]$ wget
ftp://WebUser:Lc9FuH5r@209.222.7.36/cn/wlan/RTL8191SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20110401.zip
[spinymouse at archlinux src]$ unzip RTL8191SU*
[spinymouse at archlinux src]$ rm RTL*
[spinymouse at archlinux src]$ cd rtl*/driver
[spinymouse at archlinux driver]$ tar xzf rt*
[spinymouse at archlinux driver]$ rm *tar.gz
