gOS (like most Linux distributions) normally contain all available ((W)LAN) drivers so that the supported hardware works "out of the box". But WLAN manufacturers often do not want to reveal the details of their hardware, so that drivers for it can be written, and do not want to take the trouble to write drivers themselves (this in contrast to most other PC hardware, where the details are freely available, and they often even release Linux drivers) So if you want Linux to support WLAN hardware more often "out of the box", find a way to persuade Wireless Hardware designers/vendors to start supporting Linux, like they support Windows.
By the way, which piece of "realtek" Wlan hardware you are talking about? These is no such thing as "the realtek wlan driver". I need to know which Realtek chip is used, before I can start googling for it for you. see: http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=realtek%20Linux%20wlan%20driver On 20 dec, 20:36, MikeMurdock <[email protected]> wrote: > so has anyone found a working realtek driver for gOS?
