I was recently testing an f14 install on an old laptop without wifi hardware - so I bought a small usb wifi adapter (MicroNext MN-WD550M Wireless USB 2.0 Adaptor) and this is recognised when plugged in: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8171 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter However it was clear that there was no driver support for this device in the kernel. There is a Realtek driver available at: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188SU I downloaded the linux driver version 2.6.6.0 from 2010/12/17 and untarred the files - and then used the standard make/make install to build. This works nicely. The question I have is whether there is likely to be any upstream FOSS support for this very neat little wireless adapter so that it becomes plug and play in the future? Is this being developed or is it all proprietary? Thanks -- mike c -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
