Compiling Drivers for the Supplied Wireless Card

Note 1: This fix is confirmed to work for WEP (64 bit) and WPA Personal though some users have reported problems (particularly with WPA Enterprise), including dropped networks and system freezes requiring a reboot. For up to date information and help, try visiting this forum thread.

Note 2: Keep in mind that future updates (e.g with Update Manager) of the kernel will likely require you to rebuild the drivers and put them in a new folder for that kernel. You might want to uncheck kernel upgrades on the update manager program in order to keep your drivers running smoothly, or otherwise repeat the procedure detailed below after the upgrade.


First, you need a proper build environment with the appropriate kernel headers. This is done fairly easily:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

Next, download and unpack the modified driver sources:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16098501/rtl8187se_linux_26.1016.0716.2008.tar.gz
tar xvzf rtl8187se_linux_26.1016.0716.2008.tar.gz

Now build them:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

cd rtl8187se_linux_26.1016.0716.2008
./makedrv

Now, assuming everything compiled without errors, try starting it all up using the wlan0up script. This will insert the appropriate modules and enable the wireless device. You should then be able to use it with Ubuntu's network manager.

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo ./wlan0up

To map all of the new modules so the wireless drivers are accessible at boot, you will want to copy all of the .ko files (see list below) into: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

(in ieee80211)

    * ieee80211_crypt-rtl.ko
    * ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko
    * ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl.ko
    * ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl.ko
    * ieee80211-rtl.ko

(in rtl8185)

    * r8180.ko

This can be done (from within the base folder of the uncompressed driver files) by using:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo cp -r ieee80211/*.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo cp rtl8185/r8180.ko /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

Lastly, you should run:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe r8180

Although the Wifi toggle key (Fn + F11) will work as expected, Ubuntu's network manager applet won't realize that you toggled off the wireless card for a little while.

Optimizing Ubuntu for the 1024x600 Screen
Smaller Fonts

You may want to reduce the default font resolution from 96 to 83:

    * System => Preferences => Appearance => Fonts => Details (button)


Gnome Fullscreen Mode

In Gnome, any application can be made to take up the whole screen, however, there is no default key binding set up. To setup a key binding (suggested is Alt + F11) to toggle fullscreen mode, go to System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Window Management > Toggle Fullscreen Mode and select a keybinding.

This screen mode can flicker if compiz is enabled. To fix that problem, install compizconfig-settings-manager by opening up the Terminal application and typing:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then, go to to System > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, click the "General Options" button and untick "Unredirect Fullscreen Windows". You can now enable an application to be displayed taking up the whole 1024x600 screen resolution.

Compiz Fusion provides a number of fancy 3-D effects on your desktop, including the infamous cube (see video demonstration here).

First, install the CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM):

Codice: Seleziona tutto

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Next, enable Advanced Desktop Effects by going to "Appearance Preferences" and checking the "Custom" box:

    * System => Preferences => Appearance => Visual Effects => Custom (check)

Now, open the CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM) from:

    * System => Preferences => Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

Configure Compiz to your liking. For some suggestions and help.

Adding this line to /etc/modprobe.d/options and rebooting, it started working for me:

Hi all,

I hope this may help somebody. I installed Ear Os which is a version of Ubuntu but had no webcam going. I've found this and it worked for me so here goes...

sudo aptitude install subversion sudo aptitude install Subversion

svn co SVN Co svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk svn: / / svn.berlios.de / linux-uvc /

linux-uvc / trunk linux-uvc Linux-UVC

cd linux-uvc CD Linux-UVC

sudo make Make Sudo

sudo make install Sudo make install

sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo Sudo modprobe-r uvcvideo

sudo mv /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko.original sudo mv / lib / modules / $ (uname-r) / ubuntu / media / usbvideo / uvcvideo.ko / lib / modules / $ (uname-r) / ubuntu / media / usbvideo / uvcvideo.ko.original

sudo cp uvcvideo.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko uvcvideo.ko sudo cp / lib / modules / $ (uname-r) / ubuntu / media / usbvideo / uvcvideo.ko

sudo modprobe uvcvideo Sudo modprobe uvcvideo

Just to make sure, I also did a..

sudo gedit /etc/modules

and added... uvcvideo

A reboot, a couple of Fn-F6s and what hey, it was working.

Has anyone managed to get the wireless card working with WPA?

Yes, I also run the MSI Wind with the integrated wireless card (Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 with latest updates). The rtl8187 driver has been compiled on the Wind (and must be compiled again after each kernel upgrade). I am using WPA with AES / CCMP encryption.

However, I needed to update my router firmware : the Wind could not connect to it using WPA, while my notebook does, and the Wind worked with another router and WPA. The router is a Linksys WRT54G, and I needed to upgrade the firmware from 3.03 to 4.20 (latest available) to make it work. That issue seems not directly related to the Wind, as my PDA (HTC Touch Cruise) suffered from the same problem and now connects to the router with WPA enabled.
