The rtlwifi driver mentions your device but doesn't actually add it to the device list. You can try to force it by doing this: modprobe rtlwifi echo "10ec 8171" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/rtlwifi/new_id But, this is unlikely to work and might crash your system. You will need to work with upstream to see if they can help. You can find the developer mailing list here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers Sorry, closing as UPSTREAM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
