Hi Terry, I have a similar device: Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191S WLAN Adapter Which is a ginormous pain. AFAIK, there is a driver in kernel staging (r8192s_usb), but it's not shipped with standard Fedora kernel. I downloaded the driver from Realtek and compiled it, but loading the module segfaulted (and hard-locked) my F13 machine - even magic keys couldn't save it! This device "works" on Ubuntu 10.10 out of the box, because they ship the unstable driver. It also loads the eeprom_93cx6 module, presumably for loading firmware or something. I guess if you can build the staging drivers out of kernel, then you might have some luck. -c -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
