Usb 1-2.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8172 Here are the steps to get it working (you will need to have RPMFusion enabled, and run these as root).Ĭode: usb 1-2.3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 16 So, once you have put the firmware in the right place, the device just works. Fortunately, although the driver available from Realtek does not include it, it was included on the disk, and is also available in the Billion driver from their website.

Once you have that installed, the r8192s_usb module can be loaded, but the device still needs external (presumably proprietary) firmware to work. It's easy enough to get them though, just add the RPMFusion Free repository and install their kmod-staging package which (as the name might give away) includes the staging drivers for the current kernel. I told him that there is a driver in staging which supports the device, but that Fedora only ships quality working drivers by default, so no staging drivers are included. I replied saying that I had a similar device and shared my experiences. Terry Polzin on the Fedora list today posted a request for help with getting a Realtek 8188S(U) working.
