If you keep dropping the Cc'd recipients, I will not answer your Emails! Note, I 
also included linux-wireless here.

I do not care what distribution you use. I can use any. As the driver from the 
Realtek web site 
(ftp://WebUser:wK9xBuD5@202.134.71.21/cn/wlan/RTL8188RU_linux_v3.0.2164.20110715.zip) 
is only for kernel 2.6.38 or later, it would be better if I had a kernel that 
new; however, I could backport the system to an older one if necessary.

As I downloaded the Realtek driver while composing this Email, I need to look at 
the driver before making any commitment.
