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; + echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf ``` 7.

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; + echo "options 8192eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8192eu.conf ``` 9.

Reboot system to load new changes from newly generated initramfs. ```shell - $ systemctl reboot -i; + systemctl reboot -i ``` 11. Check that your kernel has loaded the right module: ```shell - $ sudo lshw -c network; + sudo lshw -c network ``` You should see the line ```driver=8192eu```
