It's got a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN" controller.

I've downloaded the driver at Realtek here
http://218.210.127.131/downloads/dow...#RTL8191SE-VA2

But when I try to install the driver I get this error:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop.


Does this mean that this Toshiba is unable to connect wirelessly? Is there anyone else out there with this laptop who's been able to get it working?



Edited to add: I'm using Fedora 14. Thanks!

I've also tried to get ndiswrapper installed by following these instructions:

http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/ndis-yum-livna
http://fedorasolved.org/post-install...ns/yum-config/

When I do "rpm -q rpmfusion-free-release rpmfusion-nonfree-release" it tells me I have both repos.

But when I try "su -c 'yum install kmod-ndiswrapper"

It says
"No package kmod-ndiswrapper available."

All my repos are installed perfectly. It all registers as being there. But kmod-ndiswrapper isn't there even though the instructions say it is.

Is your network password protected?
When you click network icon do you see your network?
My wireless drivers on my laptop installed automatically.
The only problem I had was that, after clicking on network signal bar to find my network, and putting in password, was, I had to reboot.

So now I've tried to compile ndiswrapper itself from source.

I have my kernel headers installed perfectly via yum install kernel-headers. No errors there.

But when I try to compile ndiswrapper I get a FLOOD of errors starting with

/ndiswrapper-1.56/driver/wrapndis.c: In function ‘set_multicast_list’:
ndiswrapper-1.56/driver/wrapndis.c:953:13: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘mc_count’


Those who are looking at Toshiba Satellite laptops, beware, you might be totally blocked out of wireless access... definitely avoid the L505 series or the Realtek 8191!

My network is not password protected yet. I cannot even see the wireless card in ifconfig or iwconfig.

I cannot activate the wireless option I created via system-config-network; the activate and deactivate buttons are grayed out.

Edit:
I tried to install the Realtek drivers from the Realtek website:
rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0015.0127.2010 and rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0018.1025.2010

the command "sudo make all" works fine but the command "sudo make install" stops with the following error:
"make[3]: *** No rule to make target `missing-syscalls'. Stop."

I have kernel 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE with ALL headers via yum install kernel-headers. This is a fresh install of Fedora 14 on a laptop.

Hmmmm... so no one has experience compiling those Realtek drivers?

Have you seen this post?

Hmmm... okay, I did not see that in my search. Thanks for the heads-up!

I will reacquire that laptop and try again; I'll then edit this post with a report on the results.

Hopefully it helps you out.

The source/link that the article refers to doesn't even have a functioning Makefile or a README file that they say look for.

Hooboy.

No wait, edit: I managed to find a copy of "rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0014.0401.2010.tar.gz" online.

In trying to "make install" this as root after following the instructions I still got:

What is this 'missing-syscalls' and why does it keep stopping the make install process?

There's an extra step in there. 2a & 2b

I have gcc installed as well as the kernel sources. It didn't work, I still got the missing syscalls error.

Did you cd to directory where the drivers were downloaded to?

1 more you said you did "make install"
Did you do "make"?

I apologize for asking that 1, especially since you're no newbie, but I had to.
I wish 1 of the real techs step-up because I've run out of suggestions.

I am currently trying this solution which I was pointed to via IRC:
