Hi,
I would want to know what is the current state of the 8191su wireless
driver. I have a wifi USB stick from EDIMAX, the 7811Un model, which is
supposed to have a 8192su chip inside.
It is not recognized neither from latest Ubuntu 10.10 nor openSUSE
11.3 . However I have been able to make it work by compiling the
drivers proposed on the EDIMAX website, but this is only available for
32 bits systems/kernels.
I saw that there were some discussion 2 months ago about this port
from 32 to 64 bits, what is the current state today?
The device as shown in lsusb is:
0x7392:0x7811
The vendor id seems to be different as those recognized by the r8712u
driver. How could I try the driver to confirm that the 7811 device
works with this driver?

What are the USB IDs for this device as shown by lsusb?
If the numbers are 0x7392:0x7611, 0x7392:0x7612, or 0x7392:0x7622, the device is
supported by the r8712u driver in staging and is present in mainline kernel
2.6.37-rc1. I can assure you that the driver works for both 32- and 64-bit systems.
