* Chipset: rtl8192su<br />
* usbid: 06f8:e032<br />
* Driver: http://ts.hercules.com/ger/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=9&fid=32&pid=249&cid=1 (the "driver" there is a complete WiFi management suite (big, 177 MB) called "Hercules WiFiStation" for Windows)<br />
<br />
==Info==<br />
To use the actually necessary driver files I had to do following on a Windows XP box (a first attempt with a Windows 7 box failed [obviously Windows 7 NDIS <> Windows XP NDIS]):<br />
<br />
* install the downloaded "WifiStation V 5.3.3.0" following the given instructions (especially plugging in the usb device when being told)<br />
** BUT stopping BEFORE pressing the final "complete" button<br />
** MEANWHILE follow these next steps:<br />
* look into the 2 newest directories inside local temp directory (navigate to %temp% in Windows Explorer, there are several directories named similar to {A207675D-8B08-4EBC-AE7A-CDE7892B9EFF} and examine those with the most recent creation date)<br />
* in one of those there are the needed 3 files: net8192su.inf, rtl8192su.sys and net8192su.cat (I don't know whether the cat file is actually essential ...)<br />
* copy the found files to an USB stick<br />
* THEN complete installation of the WiFiStation by pushing the complete button (and in my case: I immediately un-installed the ugly WiFiStation.<br />
* the three files copied can be used to install the device in ndiswrapper (in my case: with ndisgtk) after plugging in the device<br />
<br />
Another note to installation of ndisgtk with ndiswrapper in current Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx): I had a (known) apt problem when I tried to install ndisgtk with ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 from the current installation CDROM. apt's dependency management is buggy when used exclusively with installation CDROM (without an internet<br />
connection). To work around this bug one can install successive (each package singly!) ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and at last ndisgtk. (Why do I mention this? I had to install Ubuntu 10.04 without LAN access.<br />
<br />
I only had the installation CD. Maybe other users have the same problem (internet access only via WLAN - that has to be installed first)<br />
