Yankee Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I tried to make the title searchable for Toshiba laptop and Mageia 2 & wifi. Mageia has a driver but it is in the wrong folder. rtl8192ce rtl8192se rtl8192de It is in: /lib/modules/3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192ce/ Copy the file from there to: /lib/modules/3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/ It does not look in the /rtl8192CE sub folder for it. I rebooted and it worked. If you have problems you can try downloading and compiling the driver. You can also get a new driver from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=278&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true I extracted it to /home/john/rt2 rt2 is just short for lazy sake Open a konsole and do: Su root Enter root password. type: cd /home/your user name/rt2/ Type: make then make install I tried to be as clear as possible in case some new people find it and can't get their wifi going. I assume there a lot of Toshibas and other brands that use the Realtek chips covered by this driver.
