You will also need to have the linux-firmware package installed, but I would expect that to be installed without needing manual intervention. Look in /usr/lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/ and in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and see what .ko and .bin files are there, these should be loaded automatically on insertion of the USB WiFi dongle. -- Brian Morrison _____________________________________________________________________ Thanks for the help Brian..here are my results /usr/lib/modules/3.3.4-5fc17.x86-64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/ Output: rtl8187.ko /lib/firmware/rtlwifi Output: rtl8192cfw.bin rtl8192cufw.bin rtl8192defw.bin rtl8192sefw.bin rtl8712u.bin Chris _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop
