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.
