I'd like to see if I can add product f192 to the driver at least as a test. Googling suggests this driver is the right one.

Hi, thanks so much for this great solution, i would like to know what do we need to do to have support and get working this driver for future kernel versions.

Today i tried with 5.3.0-050300-generic in ubuntu disco and i got that this kernel is not supported.

Thanks in advance

Hey,
I have a kali with 5.10.0-kali3-amd64 , how can I use these drivers for it. Please help

Hi,
I'm running archlinux arm on a rpi4 board ( kernel 4.19.106). I get always this message from dmesg :
rtl8188fu : usb_write_port, status=-22 on every iw event.
The same driver/configuration is working good on PC (fedora 34 . kernel 5.10)
Regards

I want to use Wireless USB Adapter for connect wifi in my desktop.

I have attached photo of Wireless USB Adapter and my ubuntu os information.

Can't find wifi drivers for 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp

I tried with your suggestion but not working really need help

drivers are not working for me somehow it shows icon off wifi but when i am click on Select network nothing is visible.

Should this driver be ok on a Raspberry Pi Zero (not W)) ?

Hello
,tried to install thos one on the current Ubuntu version, but it fails with:

sudo dkms install rtl8188fu/1.0
...
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.15.0-33-generic (x86_64)

Good Afternoon

Does your driver support monitor mode & frame injection.
Thank You
Jacques

I followed the instructions and everything was fine, but the connection never completes. I don't have any clue what's happen.

I have 5.9.0-kali1-amd64
and the problem occurs when I execute : sudo dkms build rtl8188fu/1.0
The whole message is :

Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu/1.0/build/make.log for more information.

Additionally I have made a change in the make file for the monitor mode as you suggested in a previous issue.

Good day,

I get the following error:

Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 4.4.143-57-rockchip-g4b8d0571d76e cannot be found at
/lib/modules/4.4.143-57-rockchip-g4b8d0571d76e/build or /lib/modules/4.4.143-57-rockchip-g4b8d0571d76e/source.
dietpi@DietPi:~/Realtek-USB-Wireless-Adapter-Drivers$

when trying to run this command: "sudo dkms build rtl8188fu/1.0"

Any advice? Thanks,

-J

This doesn't work out-of-the-box for ARM arch. On a raspberrry pi zero (armv6l) I had to change line 404 of Makefile from

SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/)

to

SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ | sed -e s/armv6l/arm/)

FWIW I didn't submit a PR as this change isn't general enough and I've only tested on one hardware platform.

Hope this helps
