CentOS wireless NIC Driver Installation Configuration

1. Check whether the wireless NIC driver has been installed.

[Root @ localhost network-scripts] # iwconfiglo no wireless extensions. wlan0 802.11bgn ESSID: "755" Nickname: "rtl8192CE" // if this occurs, the driver has the Mode: Managed Frequency = 2.437 GHz Access Point: 38: 83: 45: 32: 2C: 6 EBit Rate = 150 Mb/s Retry: on RTS thr: off Fragment thr: offEncryption key: C9EA-80B7-1756-A1E9-0A03-BE18-02F3-C4A9 Security mode

2. view the wireless network card model.

[Root @ localhost network-scripts] # lspci | grep-I network03: 00.0 Network controller: Realtek semiconduco ., ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) // RTL8188CE wireless network card model

3. view the Linux kernel version.

[Root @ localhost network-scripts] # uname-r2.6.32-358. el6.x86 _ 64 // kernel version, 2.6.32-358

4. Download the wireless NIC Driver

Http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx? Langid = 1 & PFid = 48 & Level = 5 & Conn = 4 & ProdID = 228 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & Downloads = true

Find the driver corresponding to the network card model and kernel version, but there are also exceptions. My kernel is 2.6.32, and my Linux driver for kernel 2.6.23 (and earlier ), instead of Linux driver for kernel 2.6.24 (and later), 2.6.24 was reported incorrectly and was not installed successfully.

tar zxvf rtl8192ce_linux_2.6.0006.0321.2011.tar.gz cd rtl8192ce_linux_2.6.0006.0321.2011make && make install

If the version is incorrect, make clean first and reinstall it. After installation, restart your computer. Done
