Please attach a syslog.

comment:2 by san2ban, 4 years ago

Posting from another device since no internet on Haiku. How to get the syslog out and post it here?

comment:3 by waddlesplash, 4 years ago

Use a USB stick?

comment:4 by humdinger, 4 years ago

If you're running Linux, you should be able to mount the Haiku partition (read-only) and get the /system/var/log/syslog.

comment:5 by san2ban, 4 years ago

But, by mounting 'read only', can we copy from BeOS file system? I mounted a USB pen drive on Haiku and triec to copy as suggested by waddle splash. When I mounted it, it said mount read only, not BeOS file system Pl. Suggest a way to copy it on Haiku to USB pen drive.

comment:6 by humdinger, 4 years ago

Thought you tried to get to the syslog from Linux, not while booted in Haiku. From Haiku, just mount a e.g. fat32 formatted usb-stick and mount it read/write...

It appears the driver advertises support for 8188EE and 8192CE, but not 8192EE. I'm not sure what the differences are between CE and EE and will ask the FreeBSD developers.

Have FreeBSD developers responded or yet to? Just curious..not in a mood to buy one more wi-fi card..

comment:10 by waddlesplash, 4 years ago

What other WiFi cards do you have? Do any of them work with Haiku?

comment:11 by san2ban, 4 years ago

None. Laptop has atheros wifi but that is with Libreboot. Haiku installer CD does not boot on this

comment:12 by san2ban, 4 years ago

Will it take too much time to resolve this issue? If so, I would rather try out some other thing on this spare HDD

comment:13 by waddlesplash, 4 years ago

You can try putting the Atheros card in this machine, that should work. But yes, unfortunately Realtek chipsets are not so well supported by FreeBSD drivers yet.

comment:14 by san2ban, 4 years ago

I have to remove it from laptop. It will be mini PCIe, I suppose...headache

comment:15 by san2ban, 4 years ago

Any progress on this

comment:16 by san2ban, 4 years ago

waddlesplash, any feedback from FreeBSD developers?

comment:17 by san2ban, 4 years ago

any progress?

comment:18 by Coldfirex, 4 years ago

Its not supported by FreeBSD yet from what I can tell. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/dev/rtwn/pci/rtwn_pci_attach.h

comment:19 by san2ban, 3 years ago

first year anniversary over for this ticket...FreeBSD13 also got released...FreeBSD13 did not include RTL8192EE in this release...think there is no point in keeping this ticket open...Pl. close it I will throw this card for now...
