Bug ID: 1040105
Summary: rtl8187se not compiled
Product: Fedora
Version: 19
Component: kmod
Severity: medium
Assignee: kmod-maint(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
Reporter: ggkraemer(a)cox.net
QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

Description of problem: '/sbin/modprobe r8187se' fails in FC19 (r8187se not
found).
r8187se source is not being compiled; however, the kmod staging source is
contained in 'linux-3.11/drivers/staging/rtl8187se'
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64
kernel 3.11.8-200.fc19.x86_64
kernel 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64
kernel 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64
How reproducible:
Update kernel from 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64 to 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a laptop that has the following WIFI hardware operating properly with
FC19, kernel 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64:
lspci | grep Realtek
02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless
LAN Controller (rev 22)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E
PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
2. Update kernel from 3.11.9-200.fc19.x86_64 to 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64.
3. Reboot laptop.
4. Wifi is now inoperative. '/sbin/modprobe r8187se' fails (r8187se can not be
found).
Actual results:
'/sbin/modprobe r8187se' fails (r8187se is not found).
Expected results:
r8187se.ko should be built, installed in proper location, and available to
detect the WIFI using the following command (as root):
/sbin/modprobe r8187se
Additional info:
If I download the kernel source and compile the rtl8187se source code and
perform the following steps (as root), the WIFI works :
mkdir /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8187se
cp r8187se.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8187se/
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe r8187se
