oh... for me..
dmesg | grep rtl returns rtl188ee modprobe rtl8188ee installs I had renamed the files for the rtl : /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin and removed the rtl using modprobe I then, via yum, completed the update, which gave a successful update/install, and also installed the new kernel-firmware. a modprobe rtl8188ee appears to have given wifi.. and i don't have the rtl8188-firmware in the list of kernels.. rpm -qa | grep kernel this is all on centos 6.5 system (by the way...)
