rtl-wifi driver snapshot release
|
|
|
|
This package provides support to Realtek Wifi cards based on rtl8187 or
|
|
rtl8180 chipsets. It will compile and install the following modules:
|
|
ieee80211_crypt-rtl
|
|
ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl
|
|
ieee80211_crypt_tkip-rtl
|
|
ieee80211_crypt_ccmp-rtl
|
|
ieee80211-rtl
|
|
r8187
|
|
r8180
|
|
|
|
The rtl-wifi installation instructions indicate that you must remove the
|
|
stock kernel's ieee80211 and possibly mac80211 modules prior to installing
|
|
this package. While this is not something we prefer to do, if you need
|
|
this package, you might feel differently. The instructions suggest the
|
|
following:
|
|
rm -rf /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/net/ieee80211
|
|
rm -rf /lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/net/mac80211
|
|
We recommend that you move these two directories elsewhere instead so that
|
|
you can easily restore them in the event that you no longer need the
|
|
rtl-wifi package. Be sure to run "depmod -a" after adding or removing
|
|
kernel modules.
