Since I just had to deal with it myself, here a quick explaination as to how to get your wlan card to work on Fedora if it doesn’t work out of the box:

First, try installing kmod-staging. If you’re lucky, the driver is in there and you don’t have to do anything more than that.

You have to be root to execute the following commands. Simply type “su” to become root.

yum install kmod-staging

If that doesn’t work, download the correct driver for your card from the realtek website

If you don’t know what card you have, use the following command:

lspci

It’ll display all PCI devices. It should list your wlan card with it’s exact name.

After you downloaded and extracted the archive, go into the driver’s directory, open the readme file and follow the instructions. If you get errors and cannot execute the make command, do the following:

yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Now reboot and try following the instructions of the readme file again. There shouldn’t be any problems now. If you are done, reboot and you should be able to use your wlan card.
