Looks like the kernel driver for your wireless NIC is RTL8192CE |
| 47 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 48 |
/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/Kconfig:12,22 |
| 49 |
config RTL8192CE |
| 50 |
tristate "Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE Wireless Network Adapter" |
| 51 |
depends on PCI |
| 52 |
select RTL8192C_COMMON |
| 53 |
select RTLWIFI |
| 54 |
select RTLWIFI_PCI |
| 55 |
---help--- |
| 56 |
This is the driver for Realtek RTL8192CE/RTL8188CE 802.11n PCIe |
| 57 |
wireless network adapters. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
If you choose to build it as a module, it will be called rtl8192ce |
| 60 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 61 |
If you like to check if RTL8192CE is enabled in your kernel's .config |
| 62 |
file. If it isn't, you probably want to compile it as a module, and then |
| 63 |
add rtl8192ce to /etc/conf.d/modules as well. |
