I have successfully compiled the kernel source and the Realtek driver
for r8187se, which I need to get my Toshiba laptop WIFI working.
After compiling, I did the following as root:
# 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
When I run /sbin/modprobe r8187se as root, I get a wifi connection.
If I reboot I have to become root and re-run the command.
What is the correct way to automate this process?
I would expect the driver to be linked in with the kernel code, but I
don't know enough about Linux builds to do it.
I have posted on the forum, but received no replies.
TIA
