If you get an error about GCC, use the “skip-gcc” flag: sudo rpi-source -skip-gcc I like to use Hexxeh’s rpi-source tool, which you can download, install, and run: sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/rpi-source & sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rpi-source & /usr/local/bin/rpi-source -q -tag-update Finding the source code for the currently-running kernel on the Raspberry Pi can be a pain. Now you have the source code for the driver, you need to get the source code for the kernel running on the Raspberry Pi. I prefer to put source code for stuff like this somewhere convenient in my home directory, like ~/src/drivers/.
#Realtek rtl8188eu drivers install
sudo apt-get install build-essential gitĭownload the source code for the driver. Make sure you have a compiler, etc installed. Below are copy-and-pastable instructions to do this on Raspbian. Rather than trying to look for random files and hope they work, you can keep the source for the module on your Raspberry Pi and recompile the module as needed.
#Realtek rtl8188eu drivers driver
The source code for the 8188eu driver is available on GitHub. You’re probably reading this article because you, like me, thought it was silly to chase files around on some random Internet forum. People on the Internet have resorted to doing all these silly things like downloading random kernel modules or compiling the vendor Linux kernel trees from scratch trying to get this driver to work. a driver not included with the Linux kernel). You can get these adapters to work by using an out-of-tree driver (i.e. Definitely, they don’t work in a plug-and-play manner. Thanks for making everything confusing, TP- LINK!).Īs of October 2014 and Linux 3.12.29+, the driver for this Wi-Fi adapter isn’t available in the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel, so these Wi-Fi adapters are not supported out-of-the-box, despite otherwise you may find on the Internet. For example, the TP- LINK WN725N V2 can be found for under $20 (the V1 and V3 use different chipsets. Known as “micro” Wi-Fi adapters, they are small and inexpensive.
Raspberry Pi enthusiasts like to use Realtek 8188eu-based Wi-Fi adapters. NOTE: If you’re using Raspbian 2015.01 or later, the Raspberry Pi kernel 3.18 now includes this driver-you don’t need to compile anything and this tutorial is now irrelevant!
