I've bought a netbook with a Realtek RTL8723AE Wireless LAN card. How can I install RTL8723AE wireless LAN drivers on a Linux machine with no Internet connection? 'Devices using the Realtek AC600 & AC1200 chipsets, such as the Edimax EW-7811UTC and Edimax EW-7822UAC, require drivers that have not been merged with the linux. Realtek USB Wireless on Linux (Fedora). Just add the RPMFusion Free repository and install their kmod-staging. (because it is mentioning the realtek driver). Jun 18, 2016 First of all make sure that the necessary packages are installed. $ sudo pacman -S base-devel git linux-headers iw rfkill wireless_tools Then, clone the.

When John needed wireless for his computer at home, he bought (probably on my recommendation) a – a USB wireless N device with the Realtek 8191S(U) chipset. On the box it said that it supported Linux, so I figured it was a pretty safe bet (surely that means there’s a stable driver in the mainline kernel, right?).

Turns out, no. Creatix Saa7131 Software Vista. The device has horrible support under Linux and it’s a super pain. The driver disk that came with the box does have a Linux driver, but it doesn’t always compile against the kernel and then there are configuration issues and a custom wpaconfig is required. So John bought another USB wireless dongle. Anyway, so now I need a USB wireless dongle for my machine and I asked John to buy one of his spare ones from him (he has four or five).

He gave me the afore mentioned Billion device. I plugged it into my Fedora 13 box, but it didn’t know much about it. So then I downloaded the open source driver from Realtek, compiled it and loaded the module. The system hard-locked – even Magic Keys couldn’t save it. I shelved it for a while, until a bloke called Terry Polzin on the Fedora list today with getting a Realtek 8188S(U) working.

Banks, Maya - Zoete Bezitting 5 2015 Dundy more. I replied saying that I had a similar device and shared my experiences. I told him that there is a driver in staging which supports the device, but unlike Ubuntu, Fedora only ships quality working drivers by default, so no staging drivers are included. It’s easy enough to get them though, just add the and install their kmod-staging package which (as the name might give away) includes the staging drivers for the current kernel. Once you have that installed, the r8192s_usb module can be loaded, but the device still needs external (presumably proprietary) firmware to work.
