I've recently partitioned my machine to include Scientific Linux 6.2, and consider myself to be a fairly inexperienced user. Although I have no trouble on my Windows bit, SL doesn't recognize my wireless adapter. I've spent a few hours trying to troubleshoot this problem, referencing similar problems here and elsewhere, however I've been unable to resolve my problem.
My unit is as follows:
I've visited the following site to obtain drivers: http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=272&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true I've done what the README suggested, however my terminal output is as follows:

Have you tried copying the microcode directly into the directory where it belongs? That directory escapes me right now.

I think that makes a world of sense. I'm unsure however if the location suggested in the error is where the driver should go, or if there is some other location.
To investigate I travelled to the location of the error:
and the contents of the folder are:
The make error said that the 'build' directory didn't exist, however you can see that it is listed. However in my terminal it appears to be in red font and highlighted in black. When I try to change to this directory it says:

Hi there,
do you have all kernel packages installed? kernel.x86_64 kernel-debug.x86_64 kernel-devel.x86_64 kernel-doc.noarch kernel-firmware.noarch kernel-headers.x86_64 mainly the headers and devel packages is needed when you need to compile your own kernel module .. cheers, ![]() -------------------- |
