Forget the kernel version, it doesn't matter, I'm just showing what I currently
drive.
The question is do you need a:
1. Station mode
or
2. Access Point mode
or
3. Both
See
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/modes
BTW paste here 'lsusb' output
The location of the driver....
/lib/modules/3.17.1-202.fc20.x86_64/updates/rtl8192su.ko
and not under
/lib/modules/3.17.1-202.fc20.x86_64/kernel/drivers/......
Seems to suggest this was added from a non-standard source.
So, maybe the question jd1008 should be asking is "how did you acquire the
driver".
