8192CU DRIVER LINUX 3.12 DRIVERS
the network device drivers in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel. Remove the dkms version of this driver: Configured to be cross compiled to PXA2XX platform with debug statements greatly reduced. Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function.Change to the old driver directory (where the "Makefile" is).Remove the none dkms version of this driver:.Before installation: This is only relevant if you have installed a driver for rt8192cu once before! But if you find any issue and you are able to solve it, please feel free to do so and submit your commit. I don't have much sophisticated knowledge or experience with this driver, so if you have any further question I probably won't be able to answer it. In the last reboot, and then check if it is the 8192cu loaded when your usb card inserted, if yes then congrat, you should have the driver working, and normally it should be much better the OS ported one. sudo echo -e "blacklist rtl8192cu\nblacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nf.
8192CU DRIVER LINUX 3.12 INSTALL
sudo apt-get install -reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms git.Hope it helps you as well if you had the same problem like me had.įirst you need some basic packages installed (if you don't have ethernet, use your iphone as hotspot and share via cables): I have searched for very long for a workable driver, but got no luck (the most case is that the driver is only compiling for Kernel 2.* or 3.*), then I decided to work out one version myself, and here it is. I have read in the last few hours in many howto that the power management could be the problem but I have already created the nf and put it into the modprobe.d folder. But the OS ported rtl8192 dirver really sucks, and the connection drops very frequently. EDIT 14feb15: Unfortunately the 'linux-raspberrypi-latest. Then reboot and you should have a system that talks to the Wifi using nl80211 and hence commands such as iw and hostapd will now work properly. I have a RTL8188CUS USB wifi card (this driver may work with some other RTL USB wifi card as well, but I don't have device to test), and I want it to be used in my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. So to install a newer kernel you need to install the linux-raspberrypi-latest package (currently 3.16.1): pacman -S linux-raspberrypi-latest. 8192cu dkms driver source code for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Tested with Kernel 4.15.0-60)
