Announcing the release of updated kmod-r8192cu packages into the EL6
elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-r8192cu

This package provides the r8192cu driver, version 3.0.1590.20110511,
for Realtek RTL819x WiFi devices that connect via the USB interface
and is kABI compatible with all kernels from 6.0
(kernel-2.6.32-71.el6) upwards.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:

x86
kmod-r8192cu-3.0.1590.20110511-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86_64
kmod-r8192cu-3.0.1590.20110511-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

SRPMS
r8192cu-kmod-3.0.1590.20110511-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo update kmod-r8192cu

Once the package has been updated, remember to unload the old version
before loading the newer driver into the kernel:

/sbin/ifdown ethN
/sbin/modprobe -r r8192cu
/sbin/modprobe r8192cu
/sbin/ifup ethN

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
