Re: yum update issue..

[bruce]

oh...

for me..

dmesg | grep rtl

returns rtl188ee

modprobe rtl8188ee installs

I had renamed the files for the rtl :
   /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin
   /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
   /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192defw.bin

and removed the rtl using modprobe

I then, via yum, completed the update, which gave a successful
update/install, and also installed the new kernel-firmware.

a modprobe rtl8188ee appears to have given wifi.. and i don't have the
rtl8188-firmware in the list of kernels..

rpm -qa | grep kernel

this is all on centos 6.5 system (by the way...)
