I’ve done this more times than I wish I would have had to … based on many reasons, but the basic thing is, I have it down, at least how to do it with a good fresh install of an updated linux system.
I use Fedora, have done this in Fedora 12 and Fedora 13.
Download a recent Linux driver from Realteks website.
as your regular login self un-tar the file such as (the most recent linux driver at this time of writing):
tar -xzvy rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010.tar.gz in Terminal.
Then, get ready: make sure you have given yourself Sudoer status.
su
password: <—–enter password
echo user "All(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoer
exit
Make sure you have Sudoer status. Check out that link above for info about that.
Now you are ready to get going on the wireless install.
In Terminal cd to the un-tarred rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010 directory.
Give yourself Super User status in Terminal:
Sudo Su
make
make install
reboot
When you are booted into the right kernel next time, your wireless should be working (setup any connection information beforehand so that it just connects right away automatically.
