Install driver for Realtek card readers in Fedora

Published on May 16, 2012 by in Fedora



Recently I installed Fedora 16 on a Lenovo notebook Z470, which includes a memory card reader based on a Realtek chip for some reason I do not know the driver is not included in the kernel that is distributed at least in this distribution, not I tried another.

The good news is that if you distribute Realteak the driver source code of this for Linux distributions.

Just installed it on Fedora:

-Downloaded and installed the Group “Development Tools” Fedora:

$ Sudo yum groupinstall development-tools

-Release the Realtek Driver from their official website

-Unzip the driver in a folder and open a terminal in it.

as a normal user run the following commands:

$ make
$ Make install
as root run:

# depmod

Ready, reboot the notebook and memory cards and are mounted automatically. The procedure should be very similar for the different distributions. Greetings.
