How to install wireless network card driver in RedHat Linux system

Enter the command lsusb​, you can see that the USB wireless network card is

Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

First download the driver installation package: 8188cus

http://218.210.127.131/downloads/downloadsView.aspx? Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188CUS​

After downloading, copy it to a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive here is in fat32 format, and the NFTS format needs to be packaged separately.

Linux mounting (fat32) USB disk:

First 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 and follow the prompts.

Operation failed:

The following error occurs:

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

This problem should be that the system does not have the kernel development package installed. You can check /usr/src/kernels/.

If this directory is empty, it means that the kernel development package is not installed, yum install kernel-devel

If this directory is not empty, you need to re-connect:

[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 installation, you need to configure the network card:

The simplest way here is to install X desktop and configure it in the desktop.

​Install X graphical interface#You can check whether which components have been installed

yum grouplist

Install:

yum groupinstall "X Window System" -y

yum groupinstall “Desktop” -y

uninstall:

yum groupremove ‘X Window System’ -y​

yum groupremove ‘Desktop’ -y

After installation, enter: startx in the terminal

Just enter the graphical interface and configure it.
