To recap, for those members of the forum, that are wondering why I installed a Slackware current kernel, I installed the kernel in an attempt to get my Asus PCE-N15 wireless card working. The card is listed as

Code: Select all

[code]# lspci -knn
---snip---
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter [10ec:8178] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:84b6]
---snip---

The card is believed to have a RealTek rtl8192ce chipset.

I don't know whether 8188 is just another name for 8192, (often the driver isn't called what you'd expect) but unless you actually do have to load it manually - which you shouldn't - it shouldn't matter because the right one just gets chosen automatically.

Regarding those messages, they may well be no cause for alarm, but I can't comment specifically. With the 2.6 kernel, I got all sorts of warnings, and I think that's pretty normal. But maybe some of these actually do matter; afraid I can't say. The key thing though is whether everything appears to be working properly.
