Beginning on November 4, 2019, I will NO LONGER support people that have downloaded the source
2021-04-30 05:39:24 +00:00
as a zip file. Using git has much more flexibility. In addition, there is much less likelihood
2019-11-04 21:29:27 +00:00
that a user will contact me with a problem that is ALREADY fixed.

If your system says that /lib/modules/...../build does not exist, you have not
installed the kernel headers, you have done it incorrectly, or you are not running
the kernel for which the headers have been installed. The necessary steps are
dependent on which distro you are using. Creating a new issue and asking at
GitHub will not be productive.
2021-08-10 18:17:13 +00:00
Your kernel configuration MUST have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT set.

If a build fails that previously worked, perform a 'git pull' and retry before
2019-11-04 21:29:27 +00:00
reporting a problem. As noted, if you had downloaded the source in zip form, then you would
need to get an entirely new source file. That is why using git, which downloads only the changed
lines, is required.

To compile the driver, you need to have make and a compiler installed. In addition,
you must have the kernel headers installed. If you do not understand what this means,
consult your distro.

### The network manager says: "Device is not ready"!
Make sure you copied the firmware (rtl8188eufw.bin) to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

### NetworkManager does not list SSID
2021-04-30 05:39:24 +00:00
NetworkManager changes the Wi-Fi MAC address during scanning to improve privacy but this adapter does not support it. To address this issue, please create `/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/80-wifi.conf` with content:
2020-04-08 00:54:12 +00:00
```
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
```
and run `systemctl restart NetworkManager`
