Hi sir,
I am from Singapore and currently our company is trying to install Prolink
WN2001 wireless adapter into Dell PowerEdge T20 with Centos 6.6 installed. I
am using https://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su for the driver.
The information I have as below:

That device is not an RTL8192SU. It is an RTL8188EU, which has a driver at
http://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git; however, that version probably will
not build on a kernel as old as 2.6.32. I try to allow a build for kernels as
old as 3.0, but yours is quite a bit older.
Is there any reason that you cannot upgrade to a newer kernel? The driver you
need was added to the kernel in 3.19.

Hi Larry,
Thank you for the reply. Our clone image standardized for all outlets for
the convenience of maintenance but somehow we have client would like to do
on wireless instead of wired. I am very appreciate if you are able to build
on that kernel.
Thank you very much!
