RTL8192eu linux drivers for Raspberry Pi

The official drivers for D-Link DWA-131 Rev E, with patches to keep it working on newer kernels on Raspberry Pi.
Also works on Rosewill RNX-N180UBE v2 N300 Wireless Adapter.

NOTE: This repo was forked from Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.
Kudos to Magnus Bergmark <[email protected]> for the great work.

You have two ways to install this driver:

1. Building and installing using the source code
2. Building and installing using dkms

Building and installing using the source code

1. Install DKMS and other required tools

   # apt-get install git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms

2. Compile driver

   # make ARCH=arm

3. Install the driver

   # make install

If you wish to uninstall the driver at a later point, use

# make uninstall  

Building and installing using DKMS

This tree supports Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS), a system for generating kernel modules from out-of-tree kernel sources. It can be used to install/uninstall kernel modules, and the module will be automatically rebuilt from source when the kernel is upgraded (for example using your package manager).

1. Install DKMS and other required tools

   # apt-get install git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms

2. Add the driver to DKMS. This will copy the source to a system directory so that it can used to rebuild the module on kernel upgrades.

   # dkms add .

3. Build and install the driver.

   # dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

If you wish to uninstall the driver at a later point, use

# dkms uninstall rtl8192eu/1.0  

To completely remove the driver from DKMS use

# dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0 --all
