It's OK. I found one :-)

I decided to read a few more Linux articles.
I got the VID and PID of the 8192EU from the
articles.

That's a 79,515,339 byte download, of which only about 4MB
is needed for the smallest installation.

That's just the NDIS portion. You could try
right-clicking netrtwlanu.inf and selecting "Install".

I haven't seen any hints in these drivers, as to whether
the various configs are for country specific stuff
(different channel assignments for NA versus Europe).
The install files are "all business" and don't have hints.

So that company, Maxxter, went above and beyond compared
to the rest of the "$10 competitors".

I need W7 drivers for my new Realtek RTL8192S WLAN Adapter .

I googled the thing, and every site wants me to download/install/buy a
driver scan utility which I do not want. Can anyone point me to a
site from which I can download both a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of
the drivers?

Thanks

Realtek hardware is commonly found on-board (mobo)
- your mobo, pc provider web sites may provide links for the correct
(and recommended) driver.


Winston,

RealTek site has them he

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/dow...ue #RTL8192SU


Look down thru the listing on that page or do a search on the page.

Hi, Bob.
I'm yet to be convinced, after re-reading the op's info that the
drivers available from RealTek will meet the desired need.

I tried the three driver downloads i got, and none worked.

You gave an incomplete model number as per those listed at Realtek's
site. Realtek lists RTL8192SE and RTL8192SU but you you only mentioned
RTL8192S (i.e., the last char is missing in the model you gave).

At the download page I gave you, there are only 2 Windows 7 drivers, not
3. They show RTL8192SE has a version 2021.0.0203.2012 Windows 7 driver
and RTL8292SU has a version 1086.48.0809.2011 Windows 7 driver. Where
did you find 3 Win7 drivers there for all chip models starting with
RTL8192S?

If you hit your search engine, you can find *Linux* references
to that identifier.

As for the hardware itself, some of those stuff uses two
identifiers. The chip itself (MAC/LLC Media Access Controller,
Logical Link Layer) may have its own number. When a "design"
is put together (requiring radio chips or not, having
different numbers of antennas or not), they can use a second
number to describe the entire design. Some of the chips even
come with multiple hardware interfaces, so the same chip does the
PCI Express version as well as a USB version.

I downloaded one file from a "driver site" and it had
absolutely nothing to do with 9182EU. This sorta crap
makes me really angry. I had to take that over and
install it in Ubuntu using WINE, to get the uninstaller
unpacked, to find it was the equivalent of a Wireless
Zero Config type of package.

After 150MB of false leads on the Windows side,
I threw in the towel.

Yep. I guess I have seen at least one situation where the apparently
correct driver does not work.

IIRC it was with a Realtek sound card where I had to use an AC-97 driver


Once in a while, if one lets Windows update the driver, it will
eventually find and install the right one.

I always look first at the MB and hardware site. Then, if that
does not work, I try Drivermax.
DO SCAN anything you download with a Jotti or Virustotal scan
before you try to install it.
