RedHat Linux system how to install wireless network card driver

Want to use RedHat Linux system to achieve wireless Internet access, you must first install the wireless network card driver, which is the same truth in any operating system. So how does the RedHat Linux system install the wireless network card driver?

Enter the command lsusb, you can see the USB wireless adapter is

Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

to download the driver installation package: 8188cus

After downloading, copy it to the USB flash drive, here The USB flash drive is in the fat32 format, and the NFTS format requires an additional package.

Linux mount (fat32) U disk:

Create a usb directory in the mnt directory

mkdir /mnt/usb

mount - t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

Execute after completion (unmount U disk: umount /mnt/usb delete usb directory: rm -rf /mnt/usb )

Unzip and compile :

unzip + filename

Go to folder

make

make install

or. /install

Or read the README as prompted.

Operation failed:

The following error occurred:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/build/: No such File or directory. Stop.

The problem should be that the system does not have a kernel development package installed. You can see /usr/src/kernels/,

If this directory is empty, then there is no Install the kernel development package, yum install kernel-devel

If this directory is not empty, you will need to re-do the connection:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /lib/modules/2.6 .32-431.el6.x86_64

[root@localhost 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64]# ln -s . . /. . /. . /usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64/build

Then re-execute make &make install.

After the installation, you need to configure the network card:

The easiest way is to install the X desktop and configure it on the desktop.

Install X Graphical Interface# to query which components are installed

yum grouplist

Installation:

yum groupinstall “X Window System” - y

yum groupinstall “Desktop” -y

Uninstall:

yum groupremove ‘X Window System& rsquo; -y

yum groupremove ‘ Desktop’ -y

After installation, type in the terminal: startx

After entering the graphical interface, you can configure it.

The above is the introduction of the RedHat Linux system to install the wireless network card driver. After installing the RTL8188CUS network card driver, you can use the wireless network.
