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 is repo was forked from Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.
Kudos to Magnus Bergmark <magnus.bergmark@gmail.com> for the great work.

Patches

You can see the applied patches, their sources and/or motivation by looking at the commits. The master branch will mostly be kept clean with a single commit per patch, except for Pull Requests. You can review commit by commit and then record the SHA in order to get a safe reference to use. As long as the SHA stays the same you know that what you get has been reviewed by you.

Note that updates to this README will show up as separate commits. I will not mix changes to this file with changes to the code in case you want to mirror this without the README.

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.
