Not only F15, F16 also not support RTL8192E.
But Chakra, Arch and openSUSE support!!

Comment 2 Josh Boyer 2012-02-22 14:14:26 UTC
There is a driver for this in the staging directory.  Fedora has a policy of not enabling staging drivers unless there is a community member assigned to handle bug reports for it.

Moving this bug to rawhide so it can be enabled when the driver leaves staging.

Comment 3 uchk 2012-03-03 15:06:48 UTC
Will you fix this in RHEL 6 ?
RHEL 6 also do not support RTL8192E.

You will need to file a support request for RHEL.  This bug has no bearing on any version of RHEL.

Although RTL8192E driver is in the staging directory, but I think it is stable enough, because Debian Stable, Ubuntu LTS, and SLES all enable it!!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
