Hello,

I have a new USB wifi device, but i am unable to make it to work. My level with linux is not very high, so forgive me for a probably foolish question.

I have followed the next tutorial until the step 4: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthrea...should-do-next
(And tried other pages also, without any better result)

Code:

# lsusb
...
Bus 001 Device 011: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
...

Code:

#dmesg | less
...
[  191.712028] usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 8 using ehci-pci
[  191.826919] usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8179

But, when I use iwconfig, there is not any wireless device:

Code:

#iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.                                                                                               
                                                                                                                               
enp1s0    no wireless extensions.

What should I do? Any step that i miss?

I have OpenSuse 13.1 installed with KDE.
If you require any other information for this question, please ask me.

Thanks you very much for any help.

Adrian M.
