Hello,
I'm new to the OpenBSD community and mailing list, so please forgive me if this
is the wrong list to ask.
I decided to install a snapshot of 5.8 on my workstation today, because I found
out that it features a new driver that supports my wireless NIC. However I'm
hitting roadblock after roadblock trying to find support.
I found one thread in the archives mentioning rtwn(4), and a Stefan was asking
if there's anyone who has an RTL8192CE and wants to test it with the driver. I
have this card and I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've run fw_update
locally on the rtwn-firmware-1.0.tgz file. I'm just not sure if this is a
problem with the driver, or just plain user error.
I looked around the FAQ and read a few manpages, but I'm still at a loss here.
Has anyone had any luck with this card and driver? Doea OpenBSD expect me to do
anything more than install the firmware and reboot?
If it helps at all, this is the dmesg entry for my card:
"Realtek RTL8192CE" rev 0x01 at pci5 dev 0 function 0 not configured
Thanks a lot!
