This week I gave the new release of fedora a try on my netbook (Asus 1201N). The installation was, as it is always with a graphical installer, straight forward. But as fedora was installed i had a problem. Fedora doesn't include the proprietary drivers and thus was able to recognize the wireless chipset. To "fix" this you have to download the Linux
driver provided by realtek. After downloading you can unpack and compile it. Then copy it to the wireless drivers. Use the following commands to do that
make
mkdir -p /lib/firmware
cp -rf firmware/RTL8192SE /lib/firmware
mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
cp -f HAL/rtl8192/r8192se_pci.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
depmod -a
After doing that i was able to use my Asus 1201N as it should be.
