Need help installing rtl8192SU LFS7.2
I just finished Lfs 7.2 moving on to Blfs.
Build on amd-64 no physical access to router. I have a usb wireless device model DWA-132 by dlink the device works fine in Debian squeeze & wheezy. In Wheezy I had to install libiw & copied the rtl8192su driver into /lib/firmware. I haven't seen any documentation in Blfs that addresses usb-wireless networking. I was looking at kernel-config there's an option for support for rtl8192 but not for the rtl8192su Edit I'm going to recompile kernel as I see if the rtl8192cu driver will work. I recompiled with the rtl8192cu driver still getting Quote:

Hi eddy
I presume you have installed wireless tools from blfs and created the file /etc/sysconfig/wlan to start with |
Yes but since you brought it up, I looked at it & I belive I set up wrong it's listed as ifconfig.wlan0 Ithink it should've been iwconfig.wlan0.
Being that this a usb device & no other connection available are there any other steps that I have to take, I've already installed usb-utils & wireless-tools |
I am looking, as i dont have the usb device not much help with drivers,etc
The driver you have used did you build it as a module ? |
It's built into kernel, not as a module.

Attachment 11586Other stuff on that Debian page in the screenshot mention firmware. For Debian it is provided by a .deb package. Your Debian systems probably have it and can supply it by simple copying. I would identify the firmware files needed by the driver and duplicate its exact sub-folder in the LFS /lib/firmware folder. You may have done this already. In your first post you said you copied the "driver" to /lib/firmware. Of course you probably meant firmware, and maybe you copied appropriate firmware to a proper sub-folder. Quote:
