# rtl8192eu linux drivers
|
|
|
|
The official drivers for D-Link DWA-131 Rev E, with patches to keep it working on newer kernels.
|
|
Also works on Rosewill RNX-N180UBE v2 N300 Wireless Adapter.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** This is just a "mirror". I have no knowledge about this code or how it works. Expect no support from me or any contributors here. I just think GitHub is a nicer way of keeping track of this than random forum posts and precompiled binaries being sent by email. I don't want someone else to have to spend 5 days of googling and compiling with random patches until it works.

## Source for the official drivers
|
|
|
|
Official drivers were downloaded from D-Link Australia. D-Link USA and the european countries I checked only lists revision A and B. Australia lists all three.

## Patches
|
|
|
|
You can see the applied patches, their sources and/or motivation by looking at the commits. The `master` branch will mostly be kept clean with a single commit per patch, except for Pull Requests. You can review commit by commit and then record the SHA in order to get a safe reference to use. As long as the SHA stays the same you know that what you get has been reviewed by you.
|
|
|
|
Note that updates to this README will show up as separate commits. I will not mix changes to this file with changes to the code in case you want to mirror this without the README.
|
|
|
|

3. Open a pull request on GH, or send it by email to `Magnus Bergmark <magnus.bergmark@gmail.com>`.
