Fedora support for the Asus N-150 usb wifi adapter

[Robert Moskowitz]

The packaging says Linux support.  But my F20 system is not recognizing 
the device.

So any hints on how to get this working?

Linux Kernel 2.6 (Support Ubuntu only)

But, I would start off with supplying the output of "lsusb" to the list.

- r8712u is a USB driver for RTL8712U/RTL8192SU devices, it's going to be replaced by
rtl8192su.

thanks but this still is getting the warning in messages that ouldn't 
find support for the device, and ifconfig does not list it.

First, I see that the Device ID isn't listed in
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/List_of_Wi-Fi_Device_IDs_in_Linux   but I see that this link
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Asus_USB-N10_Nano suggests the most probable driver is
rtl8192cu. 

Please note that looking at http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rtl819x I
don't see a reference to RTL8188su only r8188eu (rtl8188eu) and that driver is only in
"staging".

Based on this, I'd give this a try....

1.  Unplug the device

2.  As root....

modprobe rtl8192cu
echo 0b05 1786 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

3. Plug in the device

OK.  It is in another F20 box, but as this is a one liner, I can type it 
over here...

Maybe it was the correct device.   I got to the specs via
http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN10/ which shows "Wireless-N150 USB Adapter".

Oooopppsss....  Wrong device in the URL I just supplied....

But, still, the output of "lsusb" would be the first step.
