Descrizione

La tarjeta wireless RTL8191SE, necesita con urgencia un driver para poder funcionar.podria usarse el codigo fuente que viene en el paquete tar.gz con el driver para el kernel Linux 2.6.X, que esta en esta direccion http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8192SE  no parece que ningun fichero estubiera bajo alguna licencia que choque con la GNU GPL.

Ark74, me temo que te equivocas en un detalle; El enlace que puse es especificamente para ese hardware. tengo acceso al codigo fuente y curiosamente los ficheros homologos que tu mecionas estan bajo la licencia GNU GPL, para muestra un boton!:.../rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010/HAL/rtl8192/rtl8192s/r8192S_firmware.c: "/******************************************************************************

RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN especificamente hablando.

Salvo que tengas también el código fuente de rtl8192sfw.bin este driver no es software libre.
