Is the source of rtl8192 driver available, in the case I will build my own kernel?

rtl8192cu or rtl8192eu?

MrEngman

rtl8192

There are at least 6 different rtl8192 wifi drivers, RTL8192CU, RTL8192DU, RTL8192EU, RTL8192FM, RTL8192SU, RTL8192U.

You need to be more specific in asking where to get the driver source for your wifi by specifying the full version type your wifi adapter uses as it will only work with one of them.

Specifying just RTL8192 is no use.

It is rtl8192eu, Tenda U6

[MrEngman]

It is rtl8192eu, Tenda U6

I use the source from here:- https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

I compile several different drivers for use with Raspbian, including the 8192eu driver, and they can be downloaded from my web site http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/

I also have a script that you can use to download and install the drivers I compile. You can download and install the script using commands

Code: Select all

sudo wget http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/install-wifi -O /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi

The command

Code: Select all

sudo install-wifi -h

will give details on how the script can be used. To download and install the driver for your current version of Raspbian with the wifi module connected to the Pi use command

Code: Select all

sudo install-wifi

The script will check the wifi module you have connected to your Pi and then select the driver it uses and then check the Raspbian kernel version and download and install the driver version for your kernel version.

Hello. I have rpi 3b with oscm os. I try to install a driver for tenda u6 by manual.
After "sudo install-wifi" command I got log:

Hi alexlin,

The wifi drivers I compile are for Raspbian OS. They will not work with OSMC.

I would suggest you try and find an answer on the OSMC forum https://discourse.osmc.tv/ or wiki https://osmc.tv/wiki/

Hi MrEngman,

My raspbian kernel is 4.9.35
My device 0bda:f179

Using the install wifi script says it is 8188fu however, no driver found for 4.9 kernel.

Can you help, please.
Sincerely

[hangkitegale]

sorry for my previous post.
turned out, running rpi-update upgrade my kernel tp 4.19.97 and then install-wifi is working.

thanks mrengman

Hi MrEngman,

I am trying to install a new Tp-Link Model:Archer-T4U, ID 2357:0115- AC1300 on Raspberry pi 2Model b v1.1, and finally found this thread thinking it will help me to finalize the installation, but it is still failing.
I followed all links suggested:
sudo wget http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi ... stall-wifi -O /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo install-wifi

The driver is installed correctly :

Not sure why it is "Not associated" as it appears to have been assigned an IP address.

Please post full output of commands to check your wifi configuration

Code: Select all

rfkill list
ifconfig
sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

TP-LINK Archer T4U v3 - ID 2357:0115 TP-Link - works with 8822BU driver - at least for me (RPI 3B and Buster Lite). I did countless tries with the default script installing 8812au - I could see it, but no connection.
I used

Code: Select all

sudo install-wifi 8822BU

, reboot and it worked like a charm.

[deepakdeshp]

I think The install script detects your hardware and installs proper drivers.

Thanks for that info Cosminnn. For some reason the USB ID 2357:0115 was in both sets of IDs for the 8812au and 8822bu drivers.

I have updated the script and removed that ID from the list of IDs supported by the 8812au driver.

You should now find the script will download the 8822bu driver if installing the driver for the T4U v3 again.

Glad I was able to help and thanks for the great tool.

Dear Mr Engman and Cosminnn,
Thanks a lot,
It's fixed now!
I tried both drivers again( 8822bu, and 8812au), and this key is now working like a charm using both drivers!
Thanks again for this great tool and easy installation
