must I manually install kernel 17? It is not yet in the updates repo:
# yum update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit

No packages marked for update
Forget the kernel version, it doesn't matter, I'm just showing what I currently
drive.
The question is do you need a:
1. Station mode
or
2. Access Point mode
or
3. Both
See http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/modes
BTW paste here 'lsusb' output

What: /sys/bus/usb/drivers/.../new_id
Date: October 2011
Contact: linux-...@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a USB device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass RefIdVendor RefIdProduct
The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
rest is optional. The Ref* tuple can be used to tell the
driver to use the same driver_data for the new device as
it is used for the reference device.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
...
# modprobe -v r8712u
insmod
/lib/modules/3.17.1-202.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8712/r8712u.ko.xz
# ls /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
# echo "07d1 3304" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
# cat /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8712u/new_id
07d1 3304
# dmesg | grep r8712u
Well:
$ dmesg | grep r8712u
[ 380.529042] r8712u: module is from the staging directory, the quality
is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 380.530516] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8712u
But still it does not detect my fry's FR-300 USB dongle.
I am not going to go through the git kernel sources because I do not
know what I will end up with
as far other parts of the kernel. They state clearly that the driver
that has been patched to work
with this dongle must be built on the git kernel source.
Guess I have to wait until fedora 30? :) :)
