|
|
||||||
# sudo modprobe -a 8192eu
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|

4. Check that your kernel has loaded the right module:
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ 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
|
```shell
|
||||||
$ sudo lshw -c network
|
$ sudo lshw -c network;
|
||||||
```
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You should see the line ```driver=8192eu```
