Install wireless network card driver under RedHatLinux6.5

      Recently, I have been tossing with Linux. I installed RedHatLinux6.5 on the old machine that has been in service for nearly 8 years at home, and installed oracle11g, db2v10.1, tomcat9, etc. on it. In short, it is a tossing.

     Now it seems that every household has wireless WIFI, and the probability of wired connection is not high. Some time ago, in order to crack the wireless WIFI of the neighbor beauty, I bought a high-power wireless USB network card (RT3070 chip). After cracking, I didn't gain much, but every time I downloaded Thunder, I connected it, so that I could watch the video with the Xiaomi box. It won't affect it, uh, it seems to be a bit like that~

     Back to the topic, in fact, installing the wireless network card driver under Linux is not that complicated.

      First, go to the official website to download the corresponding linux version driver according to the model of your network card. What I downloaded is the .bz2 file, and then uploaded to the machine and decompressed with the command: tar -jxvf *.bz2.

      Then, go to the os/linux/ directory under the decompressed directory, and modify the file config.mk (remember to back it up). Change HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=n to HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y, and change HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n to HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=y.

      Then, return to the decompressed directory and execute the command: make. After completion, execute the command: make install.

      Finally, modify the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (remember to back it up), and add: blacklist rt2800usb at the end, the function is to disable the rt2800usb driver that comes with the system.

      Test: Insert the wireless network card into the computer, execute the command: iwconfig, if the installation is successful, you will see your wireless network card.
