installing linux driver for my wireless card

[leeyj4951]

i have a rtl8192e wireless card,
and i just found the linux driver and downloaded it.
rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0011.1029.2009

so i tryied to install it by doing this

root@bt:~/rtl8192e_linux_2.6.0011.1029.2009# make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9'

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1 modules
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.9'

as you can see, a warning comes up.
is it just me who doesn't have the module.symvers file in that directory?
i tried copying the module.symvers file from the linux driver folder,
then the warning dissapeared, but it did not work at all.
I am not even sure about how to install this driver.
all i did was typing
make, then
make install, then
reboot.
but wlan0 did not apear in ifconfig or iwconfig.
help~

I' not THAT expert, but have you tried typing "ifconfig -a" and search for the wlan0 in that list?
If it appears there, you can try to bring the device up by typing "ifconfig wlan0 up".
I think you already did this, but... if not, then I would try it

i'm having the same problem. although i can see my wireless card, i cannot do much else other than get it to scan for networks! its getting pretty frustrating, but im gonna do a search and see if i can find the missing file, if thats what it is!
