thinkpad X100e - do i need to build wireless driver?(solved)

[joec]

I can't get the wireless on my Thinkpad X100e to work with any of the provided drivers.

Control center (and lspci) say that I am dealing with: RTL 8192SE Wireless Lan Controller (rev 10)

On another distro a guy with the same problem ended up buildng  a driver : http://sites.google.com/site/linuxonthinkpadx100e/

Is this necessary and would this work for PClinuxOS? Would it be an appropriate package request?

Joec,

the apps you need and the firmware (iirc) are in the repo

Use an ethernet connection for the first update and then install the apps

The dkms-r8192se-0015.0127.2010-1pclos2010.noarch.rpm kernel drivers package contains device drivers for the Realtek RTL8191SE/RTL8192SE WiFi cards and should already be on the 2010.1 KDE CD release. If you are using another PCLinuxOS version then you would need to install the above referenced package from the Synaptic Package manager through a wired connection.
