Troubleshooting • Re: Problem with installing usb wifi dongle driver

I am assuming that you are using the Raspberry Pi OS.

I have managed to compile the module on one of my Raspberry Pi's. I think I see where you are having problems.

I would suggest that you update you system using the following commands

Code:

sudo apt updatesudo apt full-upgrade
and then reboot your system.

Make sure you have installed the necessary packages.

Code:

sudo apt install git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms
Then clone the driver from github.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-drivercd rtl8192eu-linux-driver
Work out if you are using the 32 or 64 bit os.

Code:

uname -maarch64 ... is 64 bitarmv6l ... is 32 bit
Edit the file Makefile

Code:

nano Makefile... scroll down to the section###################### Platform Related #######################ChangeCONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = yto CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = nFor 64 bit (aarch64) changeCONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_AARCH64 = ntoCONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_AARCH64 = y_OR_ for 32 bit (armv6l) changeCONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = nto CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y
Then run the commands ...

Code:

sudo dkms add .sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf
Don't worry about the rest of the instructions for now ...

Reboot and try plugging in your WiFi dongle and see if it works.

If you still have an error like "Your kernel headers for kernel 6.1.21-v8+ cannot be found at" you will need to manually install the correct version of the linux headers.
