Trying to get the older RTL8188EUS driver to work.

Mrhawkbox · 2022-06-12 03:58:14

I have 3 wifi adapters here. The only one that has ever seen linux support is one I bought many years ago. However I'm having trouble.

I read network manager has the driver.
However network manager.service doesn't exist

When I query the package it says 1.38-1 and my linux kernel version.

Any ideas?

No.

However network manager.service doesn't exist

It's "NetworkManager.service" and if you're using a different network daemon right now, you're gonna make the situation worse by enabling NM on top of it.

8188eu should™ be in 5.15 onwards.
Please post "lsusb", "lspci" and a complete system journal

(lsusb; lspci; sudo journalctl -b) | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

I like the resounding "No.".

I appreciate the bluntness with a well detailed explanation.

Issue is resolved I found it in the AUR.

Not sure how to lock my topic. Or is that reserved for admins?

networkmanager is a userspace tool to manage connections, it doesn't provide any drivers by its very nature.
If you need the 8188eu module from the AUR you're using a kernel < 5.15 and by inference not archlinux?

You can either mark the topic as solved by editing your initial post (what allows you to alter the subject) or report it for deletion.
