Problem with RTL8178

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I have an old laptop that got upgraded this week from WinXP to F14 after a massive virus/trojan hit :-(

The laptop has the Realtek RTL8178 wireless chipset and did wireless fine in WinXP. Although it can see the wireless network fine, it won't connect in F14.

I downloaded the F16 Live CD and the wireless works and connects perfectly, so whatever was wrong with the RTL8178 stuff has been fixed between F14 and F16. However, as far as this laptop is concerned, F16 has downgraded to Gnome3, which the laptop can't run.

The choices seem to be:

   a. F16 without Gnome 3

   b. back-fitting the working RTL8178 stuff into the (otherwise fine)
       F14 installation

Recommendations or instructions?

Jonathan
