Hi I have a Realtek RTL8192E PCI-E a/b/g/n Wireless card that doesn't seem to work.

I've tried kext hacking the RTL8187SEl.kext via device id editing and when I kextload the file it doesn't do anything. When I try to open the Realtek WLAN Utility it won't open at all. Maybe its because the kext itself has too much options and configurations in the info.plist that Realtek itself only knows what it is. I've google it, binged it, yahoo it and even asked Jeeves for any solution to my problem and came up with nothing.


My device id is 0x819210EC and when it is scanned by PCIUtils (a utility from osx86 tools,) its noticed as an unkown device.

The following section is the most confusing in the info.plist cause there isn't that much info on it:



Is there any solutions such as kext editing a certian way with these Realtek Wireless Kexts or will I have to wait for further compatibility?


Here i've included two kexts. One is the original untouched kext (RTL8187SEl) while the other one is an attempted edit (RTL8192SE), but that was a failure. Its here so that you can resort to these kexts for any questions.

I've included the RTL8192E files from Vista to use as a reference. The files below are the .inf file (net8192SE.txt) and the .sys file (rtl8192se.txt). They both in fact are files required for enabling wireless on Ubuntu via ndiswrapper, but since this isn't Ubuntu but OSX that isn't the case.

Additional info:

When I opened Realtek Wireles Utility, I get the just leaking error with the DATA.

In a hex editor I use to look at the executable the 8192U USB Wireless Device is noted in there so I'm assuming that my 8192E (PCI-E) could possibly be supported.

I have more detailed info, but its useless to post if there is no reply/help.

Thanks

I have the Realtek RTL8192E in my netbook and having a bitch of a time finding any OSX support for it, let me know if you have any luck.

Hey, I've linked this thread out from http://adidat.blogspot.com/2009/11/making-...msung-n130.html, where a nearly perfect hackintosh build on the Samsung N130 can be found.

The 8192E is one of the last remaining pieces of the puzzle. Hopefully the links will help steer some eyeballs in this direction (or visa-versa) and get this issue resolved sooner than later.

cheers,

I have a Samsung N130 that came stock with the 8192E and I just replaced it with the Dell 1397 B/G/N card and so far it working flawless in OSX under 10.6.2. So just give up the headache and get a card that works. Got my 1397 on eBay for $20.

I just spotted this auction on eBay for the 1397: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4=263602_263622 Is this the one you mean?

However, it's says that this card doesn't support N, just B/G.

Is there a different variant of this card out there that supports N?

I guess it is only G but whatever it's been working great.
