Bug 6439

Mageia 2 does not recognize my Realtek 8188CE WiFi after install.

This can be easily remedied by the following:

#1  download 92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011.tar.gz from http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=48&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8188CE.

#2 Install DKMS if necessary. 
  -urpmi -a DKMS

#3 Extract files
  -cd /usr/local
  -tar axvf /'file location'/92ce_se_de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011.tar.gz
  -make 
  -make install

#4 Reboot

#5 Set up Wifi with MCC or preferred program.

NOTES: 

1- this may be unnecessary if you have access to a wired connection as as Mageia's non-free repo contains rtlwifi-firmware-20120421-3 which may work.  I only had access to WiFi so I could not contact Repo.

2- Wasn't sure if this is really a "bug" or not, but it is worth noting that Mageia is one of the only distro's that doesn't recognize the this card right off the bat.  I think allot of newbies like X-ubuntu or Mint users will become frustrated and just go on to the next distro
