Another new batch barebone and an updated wlan and azalia soundcard. This time happen to MNW model which using main SIS chipsets. The wlan were detected automatically by dkms-r8192se-0015.0127.2010-1.1klixs2010.noarch.rpm and configured normally by udev and wlan0 were created, but unfortunately when trying to connect to my home linksys AP, the system were immidiately stalled. Another weird behaviour is during shutdown or reboot progress the system were hang on the bootsplash screen that at first I thought that was somewhat an acpi problem, but after applying the correct wlan driver, the problem were vanished. It looks like this unmatch wlan driver module gives some glitch over local acpi during shutting down.
lspci gives this output :

Finding the correct driver was not difficult on the realtek site, and I’m using this. Before installing this new driver, if dkms-r8192se were already installed on the system, please make sure to remove it first or the udev will always wrongly pickup the r8192se driver for this wlan. Let’s continue, extract the driver on some folder, cd into it, and do this make and make install :

reboot the system and check the r8192se_pci module after that :

Done. Now you can try to connect without problem :
It’s time to update the dkms-r8192se module …
