I just installed Centos 5.5 x86_64 on a new Toshiba Satellite L1500D.
Everything seems to work (so far) other than the wireless networking;
lscpi tells me: 0e:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Unknown device 8172 (rev 10)
I discovered that I need the realtek driver, so I found and downloaded these:
rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0010.1012.2009_64bit.tar.gz rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010.tar.gz
The version dated 2010 appears to be newer, but I can't find one of them that says "64bit" so I'm not sure if I can actually use it or not.
I un-tarred it into /usr/src, then copied the contents of the firmware directory to /lib/firmware.
When I try to run the make command I get this error. I get the same error regardless of which of the two driver archives I use.
What am I doing wrong? Is there an easier way to get this working?
