Beginning on November 4, 2019, I will NO LONGER support people that have downloaded the source
|
|
as a zip file. Using git has much more flexibility. In addition, there is much less likelihood
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Your kernel configuration MUST have CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT set.
|
|
|
|
Unsolicited E-mail sent to my private address will be ignored!!
|
|
|
|
If a build fails that previously worked, perform a 'git pull' and retry before
|
|
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.

|
|
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
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[device]
|
|
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and run `systemctl restart NetworkManager`
