Hi everyone,
I'm working on my HP Compaq 610 laptop,I compile the kernel with the right module but I have this problem:
Code:
** guypld # ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted


here is some info that I think will help:
Code:
** guypld # modprobe -v r8192se_pci
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.34-gentoo-r6/rtl8192se/r8192se_pci.ko

** guypld # dmesg |tail -n 20

you need *both* of these packages

Code:

* net-wireless/rtl8192se
     Available versions:  (~)2.6.0017.0705.2010-r1 {kernel_linux}
     Homepage:            http:///www.realtek.com.tw/
     Description:         RTL8191SE/8192SE wireless chipset driver

* net-wireless/rtl8192se-firmware
     Available versions:  (~)2.6.0017.0705.2010
     Homepage:            http:///www.realtek.com.tw/
     Description:         RTL8191SE/8192SE wireless chipset firmware


are both installed?

If they are (it looks like you're missing firmware, but...) normally with that 'operation not permitted' it's the WLAN kill switch on the laptop that's at fault (you may be able to manage this with net-wireless/rfkill )

Silly me... :)

I didn't emerge the firmwire...Thanks man, now its working!

Now I need to install some network manager, I'm working on gnome, what network manager do you suggest ?

I emerged NetworkManager but don't realy know how to use it, I only found wiki for th 0.7v, and I have 0.8.

I'm looking for stable manager, that willbe in the gnome pannel.

thank you! :o

all personal preference, but I dropped NetworkManager a while ago, in favor of WICD

I found NetworkManager a)was a bit too obfuscated/complex in its operation, b)was a bit 'too smart', removing some of my control over when I connected to what, c)presumably because of the complexity, it seemed laden with annoying albeit little bugs.

WICD does everything I need, and it was fairly simple to understand/configure/setup
