(Solved)install Maxxter wifi dongle from Action

[Canedje]

I try to install an Maxxter wifi Dongle bought very cheap at the Action.
Its a realtek Dongle.
The drivers are not working.
I checked Internet for solutions.
Everything I found at internet didn't work.

I do have another wifi dongle working. So it is not necessary to have it run, but I like to find solution just for the fun
Are there some ideas over there?

Plug it in to your RPi
Post the output from a lsusb (that's ell,ess,you,ess,bee) command on here.

You need a new version of the 8192EU driver. I'm not sure whether Mr Engman builds that or whether you'll need to do it yourself.

The link is mentioned : 8188eu.ko driver
is that the same as 8192eu driver?

I installed the tar file for my raspbian version from the link you mentioned here above.:

Code: Select all

wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-v7-20150406.tar.gz
tar xzf 8188eu-v7-20150406.tar.gz
./install.sh

No results

You'll need to ask Mr Engman. I don't have the hardware so I can't test that stuff for you.

Who is Mr Engman and how do I ask Mr Engman??

Thanks for the help

The solution:
