4. Check that your kernel has loaded the right module:
```shell ```shell
$ sudo lshw -c network $ sudo dkms add .;
```
5. Build and install the driver.
```shell
$ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0;
```
6. Distributions based on Debian & Ubuntu have RTL8XXXU driver present & running in kernelspace. To use our RTL8192EU driver, we need to blacklist RTL8XXXU.
```shell
$ echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf;
```
7. Force RTL8192EU Driver to be active from boot.
```shell
$ echo -e "8192eu\n\nloop" | sudo tee /etc/modules;
```
8. Newer versions of Ubuntu has weird plugging/replugging issue (Check #94). This includes weird idling issues, To fix this:
```shell
$ echo "options 8192eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8192eu.conf;
```
9. Update changes to Grub & initramfs
```shell
$ sudo update-grub; sudo update-initramfs -u;
```
10. Reboot system to load new changes from newly generated initramfs.
```shell
$ systemctl reboot -i;
```
11. Check that your kernel has loaded the right module:
```shell
$ sudo lshw -c network;
``` ```
