Hello,
I'm using a Samsung R720 laptop with a RTL8192e-pci NIC and Fedora 16. The
driver has been in kmod-staging from fusion until recently. Now it is removed
from staging and instead a driver is included in the kernel pack from Fedora.
After booting with this new kernel the relevant modules are loaded (see below)
but the wireless connection is not available. Using the module earlier from
Fusion worked most of the time and better and better over time.

What is wrong and what shall I do to make the NIC function?
