Hi
The driver rtl8192cu is not supported in the 3.0.x kernels AFAIK. Your
PCI ID doesn’t show in the SP3 kernel either.

One of the Kernel developers for that driver may pick up your thread in
the openSUSE forums, but will ping him to see if there may be a patch
that can be added to build…?

Hi
There is a reply on your thread in the openSUSE forums…
http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=489075

So if you grab the latest compat-wireless package and try building
that, it may work.

Does the device have to be USB, I have a wireless bridge that connects
via ethernet, a linksys WET54G, but there are others with n speeds if
thats what your after.
