So sorry to bother, but the latest version doesn't work with the kernel 5.17.1, which I upgraded this morning. Thank you.

runnytu commented on 2021-11-24 19:52 (UTC)

@borneoa, There's an update from 2021-11-06 to fix this, update to the latest version before post errors, please.

borneoa commented on 2021-11-23 21:57 (UTC)

It does not compile anymore with kernel v5.15 /var/lib/dkms/8192cu/v4.0.2_9000/build/core/rtw_br_ext.c:25:10: fatal error: net/ipx.h: No such file or directory 25 | #include <net/ipx.h>

This is due to kernel commit 6c9b40844751 ("net: Remove net/ipx.h and uapi/linux/ipx.h header files"), merged in v5.15-rc1

@runnytu I couldn't compile on Odroid XU4 (archlinuxarm kernel core/linux-odroid-xu3 4.14.180-2) because of this commit:

https://github.com/Rick-Moba/rtl8192cu/commit/18a0c5d9f0d384b13a566843ddab6a0f60f1c810

I managed to compile with previous commit: df14f11bab67a80076a4e298ec5003f74cd64e90

Here is the error message for information:

@NicolasV, it works OK with all available stable kernels.

NicolasV commented on 2021-05-18 20:30 (UTC)

Can't compile 8192cu-dkms v4.0.2_9000-19 I also tried the previous version (18) Could anybody tell me the right kernel version for this package?

manzo commented on 2021-01-04 19:51 (UTC) (edited on 2021-01-19 00:32 (UTC) by manzo)

Is anyone experiencing issues after the latest update? I've just updated and the card stopped to work with NetworkManager.

Downgrading to build 18 and downgrading the Linux kernel fixes for now.

EDIT: Sorry to bother. Making a clan build of the package fixed it.

naturlich commented on 2020-08-16 01:08 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-16 03:49 (UTC) by naturlich)

@runnytu, Thank you. I reinstalled this patch and it works fine. Thank you again for your excellent job.

runnytu commented on 2020-08-15 11:56 (UTC)

@naturlich, I added kernel 5.8 support, upgrade it.

naturlich commented on 2020-08-15 08:02 (UTC) (edited on 2020-08-16 03:50 (UTC) by naturlich)

I'm running the latest ArchLinux and my DE is plasma. This pacth has been working perfectly till I upgraded to kernel 5.8.1. I am no professional at all on CS, searched via google and found no answer, so can anybody help to solve this? Many thanks!

runnytu commented on 2020-07-22 18:04 (UTC)

@SSYH, the error was while you try to download the dependency extra\dkms, not this package 8192cu-dkms, check your Pacman mirrors connectivity.

Working now and then. Sometimes system does NOT reconnect after standby.

runnytu commented on 2019-12-11 18:53 (UTC)

@test0, the drivers are unmaintained since too many years ago, only the community add patches to work with modern kernels.

test0 commented on 2019-12-03 10:47 (UTC)

@runnytu Sorry for the delay in the reply, that worked, could you maybe issue a fix/pull request?

runnytu commented on 2019-11-13 20:14 (UTC)

@test0, It seems that is this commit, git clone the driver, and revert that commit, and try to compile the package with this reverted local source.

test0 commented on 2019-11-05 12:44 (UTC) (edited on 2019-11-05 12:44 (UTC) by test0)

I'm no expert at all, but from a first glance this is the commit that seems to introduce the issue: https://github.com/Rick-Moba/rtl8192cu/commit/18a0c5d9f0d384b13a566843ddab6a0f60f1c810#diff-448ea64ff68e5233d1cb931667f29460

runnytu commented on 2019-11-05 10:14 (UTC)

@test0, yes, there is surely, but I'm on holidays without access to pc until 12 november, it's needed to go to git, and see what patch broke that part, if you are able to do it, you could find the solution, if not, wait to that date at least, and I try to find it.

test0 commented on 2019-11-04 08:19 (UTC)

@runnytu: Unfortunately that's the only kernel supported/available for my board (Amlogic). No solution then?

runnytu commented on 2019-11-04 05:42 (UTC)

@test0, you are using a unmantained outdated kernel: linux-3.10.107, please update to supported/maintained one, and sure it works.

test0 commented on 2019-11-03 10:19 (UTC) (edited on 2019-11-03 10:23 (UTC) by test0)

Hi I am getting this when compiling the module for my archlinuxarm setup (no mainline kernel unfortunately), any idea?

Realtek RTL8188CUS Lane is a good software for the network. With the help of this software, you can setup the local network easily. I use this software on my computer for my lane network. Some time ago I found a research paper on the lane network on http://www.payforresearchpapers.com. A lot was learned about the Man Lane network from this research paper as well.

aurelien commented on 2019-08-19 13:43 (UTC)

The trouble is when you need that package ... the embedded stuff just not connect to internet ... so how do you do??

git and dkms are not installed by default

runnytu commented on 2019-07-17 17:33 (UTC)

@papakilo, It's working ok both kernels 5.2 and 5.2.1 since 11/07/2019 with the version 4.0.2_9000-17, don't flag out of date.

My WIFI dongle seems to do not need this driver anymore. According to https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes the upstream in-kernel driver should be fine since Linux 4.4.

franklucido commented on 2019-05-07 10:06 (UTC)

Driver for Realtek RTL8188CUS features and characteristics for SoftPedia blog and laboratory https://essays.agency/lab-report.html may be found on Tom's Hardware forum too. The manufacturer's license pdf file is uploaded in the section official documents and pdf manuals for drivers. More in the Software and Hardware course materials from Cornell University.

Great initiative taken. First priority of every government should be education. Building such projects would definitely strengthen economy. Meanwhile, young generation is attracted towards some medicines/drugs like cialis, viagra, etc. Govt. should also play part in stopping such growths by making people aware of cialis side effects. Here are detailed information about http://cialisiy.com/long-term-side-effects-of-cialis/”>long term side effects of cialis. Cialis causes many severe diseases like heart-attack, brain tumer, cancer, etc. starting phase of such diseases is blood pressure.

runnytu commented on 2017-06-06 20:02 (UTC)

@PhotonX, it's strange, if with lsusb you see the dongle and the module 8192cu loaded it's all ok, do you try with another network manager like iwconfig or to create manually the connection on network manager?

PhotonX commented on 2017-06-03 23:35 (UTC)

Right, I forgot to mention, there is no wireless network in the network manager applet when the driver is used.

runnytu commented on 2017-06-03 22:25 (UTC)

@PhotonX, in the logs of your image don't see any errors, is the correct output to work.

@PhotonX, This is because USB code 0df6:0077 isn't in the driver source code list of accepted devices, I update de source code to add compatibility with this device, reinstall the package should fix the issue.

PhotonX commented on 2017-05-11 20:20 (UTC)

Trying to use this with a Sitecom WLA-2100 (300M), USB code 0df6:0077. The module builds fine and everything looks good but after a reboot the module is not loaded. "lsmod | grep 8192" and "dmesg | grep 8192" give no output. When plugging off and on the Wifi stick, dmesg reports that it is running with xhci_hcd which is complete rubbish. What could be the reason for the problem? Running kernel 4.9.24.

@francesco_dem: Are you using NetworkManager? That may be the problem, because it randomizes MAC addresses while scanning for networks. This seems to be not well supported by this driver and it constantly fails and spams the log with such messages: NetworkManager: <info> device (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disabled -> inactive NetworkManager: <warn> device (wlan0): set-hw-addr: new MAC address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX not successfully set (scanning) NetworkManager: <info> device (wlan0): supplicant interface state: inactive -> disabled I put [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=0 in my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf it worked like a charm. See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=836351. @runnytu maybe you could put this info somewhere. (edit: posted the correct config snippet)

runnytu commented on 2017-03-09 20:12 (UTC)

One more time, rtlwifi, rtl8192c_common and rtl8xxxu are the kernel included drivers, and rtl8192cu the provided by this package, to work with the provided by this package only is need it rtl8192cu and blacklisted the rest, if not you are using the kernel drivers and don't need this package after all, with this blacklist is working since ever, if not working maybe you need some more packages or config change but the package still working ok.

Like @beef, I also had to comment out the "blacklist rtl8xxxu" line from the blacklists file, otherwise the 8192cu module loaded, but my wireless card showed up as ethernet in "networkctl list" and couldn't be used in wireless tools like network manager. With rtlwifi, rtl8190c_common, and rtl8192cu blacklisted, but rtl8xxxu and 8192cu loaded, things work as expected and I don't have the constant connection drops I have with the standard kernel driver.

runnytu commented on 2016-12-28 19:55 (UTC)

@beef, it's ok to blacklist: blacklist rtlwifi blacklist rtl8192c_common blacklist rtl8192cu blacklist rtl8xxxu If you don't blacklist this drivers, you are working with the kernel drivers, not this package drivers.

beef commented on 2016-12-27 22:09 (UTC)

I had to change blacklist-8192cu-dkms.conf from: blacklist rtlwifi blacklist rtl8192c_common blacklist rtl8192cu blacklist rtl8xxxu to: blacklist rtl8192cu because rtl8xxxu is still needed. $ lsmod | grep 8192 8192cu 536576 0 usbcore 208896 8 usbhid,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd,8192cu,uas,rtl8xxxu,ehci_pci

Downgraded networkmanager to 1.4.1dev+9+ga3fd485-1. It seems to be working under KDE but suspending the system once causes no network devices to show up anymore. netctl is totally functional though.

I had problems using wpa_supplicant (1:2.6-1). Downgraded it to 1:2.5-3 and my wifi started working again.

NoMore201 commented on 2016-10-12 20:48 (UTC)

I can confirm the issues are related to nm, i tried with netctl and it works. Network manager is the only package that gives me problems almost every release (related to both this driver and other stuff). I think I'll stick with 1.4.0 for a long time.

quaelgeist commented on 2016-10-12 16:40 (UTC)

are you sure that this is a bug in network manager or just "new behaviour". It seems like if networkmanager disables wifi the network card turns on and if networkmanager enables wifi the network card turns off. Also the (mostly broken) kernel driver behaves as expected. Is there something already reported?

commented on 2016-10-11 19:33 (UTC)

@runnytu Thank you for fast response! works: networkmanager (1.4.2-1 => 1.4.1dev+9+ga3fd485-1) network-manager-applet (1.4.2-1 => 1.4.0-1)

@runnytu, many thanks. I can confirm too : downgrading networkmanager and network-manager-applet to 1.4.0 work fine.

bztes commented on 2016-10-11 19:17 (UTC)

@runnytu Thanks a lot. I can confirm that by downgrading networkmanager and network-manager-applet to v1.4.0 my interface is working again.

runnytu commented on 2016-10-11 17:23 (UTC)

Works ok with 4.7.6-1-ARCH, the problem is the last Networkmanager & applet 1.4.2, downgrade and works ok.

commented on 2016-10-11 17:15 (UTC)

I can confirm its not working with 4.7.6-1-ARCH. Hope for a fix. Will stay on working kernel next time until new kernel is confirmed.

quaelgeist commented on 2016-10-10 17:44 (UTC)

Does not work anymore for 4.7.6-1-ARCH. The Kernel driver is STILL mostly broken for this one. Please provide a fix soon

denixx commented on 2016-07-20 07:56 (UTC)

@runnytu Yes, re-plugged adapter, and it works properly now. Can't say what was wrong.

Confirmed, this is NM bug, if I removed 8192cu-dkms packages, I found USB Wifi Optin on NM context menu but the signal and speed will decrease or doesn't display correctly. Liked jpcima said, I roll-backed to NM 1.0.10-2 then remove / reboot / re-install, my Wifi Adapter is workings flawlessly again.

It is not working for me either, neither with the default kernel one nor with this aur package.

Sorry, I've remove 8192cu-dkms package then reboot, it works like charm. I guess it has been supported by kernel v4.4.5

Problems, problems, lots of problems. So how are we going to get this fixed?

NoMore201 commented on 2016-02-17 15:34 (UTC)

I confirm issues with kernel 4.4.1, unusable with university wireless network, frequent disconnections with home wifi. Downgraded to 4.3.3 and working fine.

BasioMeusPuga commented on 2016-02-15 08:23 (UTC)

While this is still better than the kernel driver, I'm afraid that with the update to 4.4.1, my RTL8192CU reports incorrect bit rates, has had its link quality drop to less than half, and is now prone to the occasional disconnect/reconnect thing. The official Realtek driver (that this package uses) was updated back in 2013. So I guess this is about the kernel now.

runnytu commented on 2016-02-08 20:48 (UTC)

With kernel 4.4.1-2-ARCH works properly for me, no problems.

light0 commented on 2016-02-08 18:37 (UTC) (edited on 2016-02-08 18:37 (UTC) by light0)

I can confirm observation by mrueg that this package is not properly working with kernel 4.4.1-2. This package is much needed because the kernel driver does not work well with certain TP-LINK devices (e.g. Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter), causing frequent disconnects.

Mr.Elendig commented on 2016-02-08 17:41 (UTC)

Use the rtl8xxxu driver in the kernel instead unless you have really good reasons not to.

mrueg commented on 2016-02-07 21:31 (UTC)

I updated to kernel 4.4 (specifically linux-4.4.1-2) today and the module stopped working. It works after downgrading to 4.3.3-2. I also tried to uninstall it, reboot, then reinstall it as sourc7 suggested, which didn't help. What should I do to get more information on what went wrong?

BorbMizzet commented on 2016-01-10 09:44 (UTC)

I'm running kernel 4.3.3-2 on an arch installation from the 1-1-2016 install iso. I installed this package due to frequent disconnects with the kernel drivers, and now I get three errors to either stdout or stderr (the same one thrice at once) either once I plug in the device or on the login terminal at boot if the device is connected. The errors go away when I uninstall the package and reappear when I reinstall the package. Also, unlike the kernel drivers, Network Manager no longer connects at boot nor will it work manually, not even sensing the SSID at all except like 1 out of 10 times when I re-plug in the dongle or boot, the errors dont appear and it works fine (noticeable improvements in connection speed when that happens though :-D). I have a TP-LINK TL-WN822N rev.3. Here is what happens when I boot. The errors also appear if I plug in the device post-login: [Terminal Text] Arch Linux 4.3.3-2-ARCH (tty1) My-PC login: [ 4.044568] xhci_hcd 0000:05:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 2 comp_code 13 [ 4.109525] xhci_hcd 0000:05:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 2 comp_code 13 [ 4.113901] xhci_hcd 0000:05:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 2 comp_code 13 _ [/Terminal Text] any ideas?

@mehine2 Look like it's dkms issue, so you can remove the 8192cu-dkms, reboot, install the latest version of GNU/Linux kernel, and/or re-install the 8192cu-dkms. You need to do it after you upgraded the GNU/Linux kernel (remove the 8192cu-dkms -> reboot -> re-install the 8192cu-dkms) or use DKMS to automatically load the modules after kernel upgrade.

mehine2 commented on 2016-01-03 14:11 (UTC)

Worked fine with linux 4.2.5. but after I install 4.3.3 didn't see the dongle. Downgrade fix. Still would like to see it work with latest linux. tnx

sourc7 commented on 2015-11-08 08:59 (UTC) (edited on 2015-11-08 09:39 (UTC) by sourc7)

This driver is stable, but I got lowest average "5ms" ping with very high signal (100%), with Linux 4.3.0-1-ARCH mainline driver the lowest average "1ms" ping.

mariusz84 commented on 2015-09-19 21:51 (UTC)

@pmattern I had similar issue. Interesting thing is that I have two usb tongles with the same 8188cus chipset. One is working without problem, but second one had problem exactly as you described. Just like you I tried few dkms drivers without success. Ended up with switching to wpa and tkip in my router. Now both dongles works. I know that this is just workaround, but works.

pmattern commented on 2015-09-16 17:16 (UTC)

Running the module provided by this package on a device featuring chipset RTL8188CUS (Edimax EW-7811Un) just gave me "nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands" here when wpa_supplicant was launched. Running the patched version from github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes installed as depicted on the homepage it was the same except the message was preceded by another one "Could not read interface wlan flags: No such device". Actually this looks as if that elderly Realtek driver wouldn't play with this chipset and/or kernel 4.1.6 any longer. But I was wondering whether you eventually know something that can be done to get the module running nevertheless. (Module rtl8192cu from mainline was basically working but way too unstable.)

@fabioca, because are propietary drivers, the open source are the included in the vanilla kernel, and the ARCH way is to be the most close to vanilla kernel released by linus torvalds and company.

fabioca commented on 2015-06-02 03:08 (UTC)

I am a newbie so apology in advance if the question is dumb: This seems like a fix to a faulty driver. Instead of having a separate package, why doesn't it just get upstreamed in the mainline kernel?

Please add to dependencies: linux-headers Although perhaps obvious, it's handy.

cfusting commented on 2014-06-22 15:25 (UTC)

This driver was working great until I updated my system last week. Oddly, the driver now functions like the default open source drivers in the kernel. Speeds are slow, connections drop out, etc. I've verified the module is loaded and the kernel drivers are blacklisted. I can't recall exactly how behind I was. A good guess would be 4 - 6 months. _Chris

runnytu commented on 2014-06-06 14:05 (UTC)

@joanmanel the only changes in the package are the name and the linux-headers requirements, maybe are a kernel version or other package upgrade.

joanmanel commented on 2014-06-05 15:55 (UTC)

I have horrible lag with this package that I didn't have with dkms-8192cu just a few weeks ago before you changed it. I am using this adapter: Edimax EW-7811UN 150Mbps Wireless Nano USB Adapter As said, I have horrible lag while playing. Usually every 5 second my game freezes for 1. The speed test gives me all perfect, and while surfing the web and doing stuff all goes smooth. If I use wired connection instead, I have no lag, so it only happens using WI-FI. On Windows 8 the wifi goes perfect, so it's not the adapter being damaged, or the router or whatever, it is just this new package.

bricewge commented on 2014-05-10 08:34 (UTC)

The discussion, about including or not linux-headers as a dependencies, in a dkms package should happen on the AUR mailing list. Otherwise each package will came up with a different solution. I think that, for the moment, we should follow what is written in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support#Dependencies) which is not including linux-headers as a dependencie because dkms already lists it as an optional one.

moonman commented on 2014-05-10 07:24 (UTC)

I have to disagree about not including linux-headers in the depends. First, any custom kernel also provides linux-headers. If you installed a custom kernel in a arch-linux way (i.e. make install), then this configuration is not supported in ANY way since pacman does not track the files anymore and all the problems that come with that should be on you. Also this package is used not just custom kernel users.

runnytu commented on 2014-05-08 20:30 (UTC)

For update with the new package name, you should install the new 8192cu-dkms and automatically replace the old dkms-8192cu.

I backup izmntuk on removing linux-headers as a dependencies. Furthermore this package should be renamed 8192cu-dkms by asking it on the mailing list.

Hello, new version with added N150MA devices support.

franmod commented on 2014-05-01 14:06 (UTC)

Hi, I have tested this module with my wifi usb dongle and it works fine. This is the network adaptor (It's seen as a Netgear device). http://www.on-networks.com/products/adapters/n150ma.aspx Could you add this line to os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c on line 113 ? {USB_DEVICE(0x0846, 0x9042)}, \ Thanks!

runnytu commented on 2014-04-24 19:02 (UTC)

New version without debug messages in journal.

semidog commented on 2014-04-24 06:43 (UTC)

Another request: Could you please add a patch to comment out line 299 in include/autoconf.h #define CONFIG_DEBUG_RTL819X I get a ton and a half of messages in my Journal which mean nothing to me. I can do without them.

jug commented on 2014-04-15 17:42 (UTC)

Well, this error happens for armv7, more specifically linux-am33x.

alejandro.perez commented on 2014-04-15 17:39 (UTC)

It worked for me. 3.14.1-1-ARCH. AMD64

jug commented on 2014-04-15 17:35 (UTC)

runnytu commented on 2014-04-03 11:32 (UTC)

@joanmanel this is true if you have installed DKMS package and the service activated, install and the updates are automatic each kernel upgrade.

joanmanel commented on 2014-04-03 09:09 (UTC)

Every time kernel is updated, like yesterday, the driver stops working, and I have reinstall it again, which involves connecting (wired) to the router, because if I am using the stock firmware for the wifi, dmks-8192cu won't install. I thought it was supposed to reinstall itself with each kernel update.

Zeg9 commented on 2014-03-21 19:12 (UTC)

I'm having a similar problem to @Aelius... The driver works but I have to unload the 8192cu module, make sure connections are closed then reload the 8192cu module and start the connection. This translates to: # modprobe -r 8192cu; netctl stop-all; modprobe 8192cu; netctl start <profile> I could make a bash script at startup but it is hacky...

runnytu commented on 2014-03-17 11:40 (UTC)

@bricewge, really i forget to change the sha256sum of dkms.conf, it's uploaded with the correct sha256sum.

bricewge commented on 2014-03-17 11:18 (UTC)

@runnytu, thanks for merging it so quickly. It looks like I forgot to change the shasum, an updated PKGBUILD is here http://hastebin.com/yacapuhemo.bash

runnytu commented on 2014-03-16 18:39 (UTC)

@bricewge, the changes are merged, with the same version number to avoid to force others to recompile and reinstall the driver.

bricewge commented on 2014-03-16 16:53 (UTC)

This package isn't architecture independent, to make it so you need to do the following: 1. PKGBUILD (http://hastebin.com/dicinefedo.bash): change arch to "arch=('any')" 2. dkms.conf (http://hastebin.com/pofosakaxa.ini): remove "ARCH=i386" for make Can you merge these changes?

Aelius commented on 2014-03-06 03:56 (UTC)

Although it can be fixed by removing the USB device, rebooting, and reinserting the device, ever since the other day I've been having nothing but grief. Which is funny, because I explicitly bought this wireless adapter to avoid the grief with the unresolved bug in ath9k drivers.

Aelius commented on 2014-03-04 05:02 (UTC)

Some update must have broken this- I rebooted and was pleasantly surprised to find out the internet is broken. I can't 'ip link set enp0etc up' The operation is not permitted.

semidog commented on 2014-03-01 05:23 (UTC)

Ok, I switched to netctl rather than my own systemd unit. Things are back to normal now. Sorry for crying wolf.

semidog commented on 2014-02-28 16:12 (UTC)

After the upgrade to kernel 3.13.5-1, this driver is completely broken for me. wpa_supplicant does not load, and gives the following error message: nl80211: Driver does not support authentication/association or connect commands wl0: Failed to initialize driver interface Anyone else see this?

joanmanel commented on 2014-02-27 10:59 (UTC)

Since the update to Kernel 3.13, my wifi connection is very slow and/or unstable. Both with this package and the default driver from the Kernel. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

runnytu commented on 2014-02-01 20:51 (UTC)

Yes, install DKMS and the rebuild is automatic.

gsgleason commented on 2014-02-01 20:44 (UTC)

This makes my USB wifi adapter work so much better than the default driver in the kernel. Thank you for packaging this. Is there a way to automate the re-build when there is a kernel update?

moonman commented on 2014-01-16 04:53 (UTC)

Evils you do realise this is the driver that comes in the raspberrypi kernel (this is the reason it works for you) and there is a package of this exact driver in the a.l.arm repo.

Evils commented on 2014-01-15 12:09 (UTC)

If anyone else gets the same errors as I did (raspberry pi, latest kernel) Building module: cleaning build area..... make KERNELRELEASE=3.12.6-1-ARCH ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /usr/lib/modules/3.12.6-1-ARCH/build M=/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/v4.0.2_9000/build modules.....(bad exit status: 2) Error!

Just do a pacman -Syu afterwards and it'll fix itself (more or less) - at least it works after that

izmntuk commented on 2014-01-03 09:42 (UTC)

Work fine with networkmanager, but cannot be detected by iw , anyway thanks :)

Dunkelheit commented on 2013-11-25 21:06 (UTC)

Works properly with 3.12

alejandro.perez commented on 2013-11-18 18:01 (UTC)

Hi guys, the driver works fine... except for that I cannot authenticate using WPA-EAP. All I got is authentication failed, while credentials are good (same wpa.conf and different card works perfectly). I've tried with EAP-TTLS+PAP and PEAP+MSCHAP. None of them worked. Is anyone there having similar issues? BTW, kernel 3.12.

runnytu commented on 2013-11-11 23:56 (UTC)

Hello, bump to new version with the latest driver v4.0.2_9000. @nuked thanks for the links, the patch are a little bit different than mine.

nuked commented on 2013-11-11 21:30 (UTC)

@runnytu on my desktop with 3.11 and on my raspberry pi with 3.10 works fine https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/e2465a9a6321b26f33ea7e73023165507ed73d35 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/a295939cf398d844092a7cde8096f81043ea0b1e

runnytu commented on 2013-11-11 15:23 (UTC)

@nuked with patch fix_310_proc still fail to compile the 4.0.2_9000 driver, i tried another time, but still fail, if you compile successfully with this patch, what kernel version do you use?

nuked commented on 2013-11-11 01:18 (UTC)

new driver can compile with fix_310_proc.patch driver only supports <=3.9 kernels

runnytu commented on 2013-11-10 23:29 (UTC)

The new version of drivers doesn't compile with kernels 3.10.x 3.11.x, and i don't find a patch to work properly, if anyone have a patch or successfully compile the driver please give me some feedback.

dmitriy commented on 2013-10-02 23:50 (UTC)

Hey, guys. Maybe kind of a nooby question, but what do I have to do after installing? I did 'dkms autoinstall' and blacklisted rt8192cu (while default was rtl8192ce, tried blacklisting it too, didn't help), but I have no clue. Which modules to load? I have exactly rtl8192ce wlan card.

fazo96 commented on 2013-09-30 16:05 (UTC)

I did, but this problem doesn't really seem to have a solution. I guess I'll stick with my usb dongle

commented on 2013-09-30 14:54 (UTC)

You should probably open a forum thread at this point. But you can disable power saving with this command: sudo iw dev wlan0 set power_save off (change wlan0 to the name of your connection.)

fazo96 commented on 2013-09-30 12:59 (UTC)

Ok guys I followed your kind advices and now I got it working! But it's still not enough, because if I'm too far away from the access point I keep disconnecting, sometimes it doesn't stay connected enough to even authenticate. If I use windows or another distro I get full signal! (I also get full signal, if it works, but it keeps disconnecting). I disabled power saving before compiling and packet loss is almost completely gone, but I need to solve this. I tried to compile the linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013.tar.bz2 by myself but I'm not good enough, there are errors I don't know how to fix. Can you please tell me how to try to disable power saving by adding a parameter to the module? I don't know what else to try!

moonman commented on 2013-09-29 04:39 (UTC)

This is the comment: Please add some missing IDs for some adapters: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/aur/dkms-8192cu/add_missing_ids_netgear_dlink.patch Also disabling power saving mode may solve some packet loss problems by adding sed -i 's/^CONFIG_POWER_SAVING\ \ \ =\ y/CONFIG_POWER_SAVING\ =\ n/' Makefile into pkgbuild like in here: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/aur/dkms-8192cu/PKGBUILD

moonman commented on 2013-09-28 03:31 (UTC)

Try what I suggested in comments several month ago. Disable power saving mode - either before compiling by modifying Makefile or after by using module params

commented on 2013-09-27 19:10 (UTC)

Oh wait, this package already takes care of the blacklisting. Sorry.

commented on 2013-09-27 19:09 (UTC)

You need to blacklist rt8192cu and to run "dkms autoinstall" (the latter after each kernel update).

fazo96 commented on 2013-09-27 18:36 (UTC)

Hello guys, I have the 8188CE wifi card. I tried to compile and then install with pacman and there was no issues, but nothing changed. I don't know if I have to enable this or something. My wifi works just like before: 30% packet loss and disconnect every 15 seconds

jilen commented on 2013-09-14 03:13 (UTC)

I've sent an email to the maintainer. If we don't hear for another couple of days or so, we'll get a TU involved. Who wants to volunteer to take up maintenance of this driver?

moonman commented on 2013-08-25 12:01 (UTC)

or if he doesn't respond post on the mailing list: https://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/aur-general

Contact the maintainer requesting him to update or disown the package.

commented on 2013-08-24 23:05 (UTC)

It would be really nice if someone could update this package. I had probblems editing the PKGBUILD and applying the new patch.

twelveeighty commented on 2013-08-23 23:13 (UTC)

@moonman: alright, I just went with the last (undisputed, I guess) comment thinking that was the only working version. I totally agree not using a patch is weird. So, combining @stqn PKGBUILD with @moonman's patch is the "latest" version, correct?

moonman commented on 2013-08-23 19:42 (UTC)

@twelveeighty. The patch is 4 comments below. Replacing the whole file... well, that's a weird solution especially if that file changes a lot from the source. Also stqn seem to have created an updated PKGBUILD.

twelveeighty commented on 2013-08-23 16:10 (UTC)

@jilen: thanks for the patch, this made my day. I maintain the driver for the buit-in wireless card in my laptop, but that card is a piece of sh*t, so I was hoping to get by with this USB external one, only to find out it doesn't work with the built-in kernel driver @johhny.ha: can you please adopt @jilen's patch and update the PKGBUILD? If not, please disown and we'll take care of it.

commented on 2013-07-27 19:27 (UTC)

Updated PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/Bxxj6XBg You have to get fix_310_proc.patch from the previous comment too. And a modified dkms-8192cu.install file that does not rmmod or modprobe the module, because at least one of those makes my computer crash :( : http://pastebin.com/DgxxQTdP (that one is not really well tested.)

moonman commented on 2013-07-11 23:28 (UTC)

It doesn't compile for 3.10. The patch is here: https://raw.github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/master/aur/dkms-8192cu/fix_310_proc.patch

I am using a usb wlan card, it is able to connect. But when I unplug the usb wlan card, the system will be panic. "kernel panic - not syncing" "drm_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text mode" Did this happened to you guys?

apicici commented on 2013-03-21 15:48 (UTC)

@archannes: it is able to connect (I'm using it right now), but it seems there's still the connection drop problem; I'm doing some testing to see what happens.

commented on 2013-03-21 11:28 (UTC)

The patch did it for me, too. @apicici: what means 'partially'?

@nuked: the patch works great on 3.8.3-2-ARCH.

I have the same problem with 3.8.3. I'd like to point out, however, that the module shipping with the kernel (rtl8192cu) seems to partially work with 3.8.

Changes in PKGBUILD is fixed.

Change PKGBUILD to depend on linux-headers <= 3.7.10 instead of 3.7. Works for me with that change.

poincare commented on 2013-03-20 11:57 (UTC)

No longer compiles on 3.7.10-1 (the kernel currently loading w/o problems). However, even with linux37-heaeders installed, makepkg always craps out with this problem: ************************************************************** ==> Building and installing package ==> Install or build missing dependencies for dkms-8192cu: :: There are 2 providers available for linux-headers<=3.7: :: Repository basis 1) linux34-headers 2) linux35-headers Enter a number (default=1): ************************************************************** HOW can this package be build with linux37-headers instead of linux34 or linux35??

Builds clean on 3.7.10-1! Thanks for putting this package together!!

wizetek commented on 2013-02-07 23:31 (UTC)

I can confirm that the patch makes the driver work with kernel 3.7.5. Thanks for that. I wonder if dkms has the ability to gzip 8192cu.ko when building/installing?

apicici commented on 2013-02-07 20:09 (UTC)

Here is a PKGBUILD which includes the patch aravind provided, if anyone needs it: http://pastebin.com/sznL0np9

aravind commented on 2013-02-07 00:03 (UTC)

I was able to compile the module for 3.7.5-1-ARCH using the patch from this comment. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1030858/comments/65 I am not sure if I will continue to see problems with it, but for now.. it seems to compile (with that patch) and the driver seems stable. It would be cool if this package can incorporate that patch, so folks don't have to do it manually.

wizetek commented on 2013-02-03 21:51 (UTC)

Jan, are you repackaging the source? Will you consider changing your PKGBUILD to download RTL8192xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20121105.zip directly from Realtek's site. If possible, of course. Another suggestion: perhaps use /lib/modules/extramodules-3.7-KVER for installation location? Or is it dkms's job to figure out the path? Thanks for the package. It doesn't load on 3.7.5-1 for me either. Even when downloaded from the manufacturer's site and compiled by hand.

MikeDacre commented on 2013-01-28 20:52 (UTC)

I also cannot insert the module in 3.7: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8192cu': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg: 8192cu: Unknown symbol kernel_thread (err 0)

In kernel 3.7 and later is kernel_thread() function removed. I must written patch.

bminaker commented on 2013-01-21 22:48 (UTC)

Module fails to insert in kernel 3.7. Unknown symbol error?

bminaker commented on 2012-12-12 17:59 (UTC)

Even more impressed by packaging after last update. Automatically strips out old versions of driver compiled for old versions of kernel that were still in filesystem before compiling. Very nice. Driver functions fine. I haven't experienced kernel panics on shutdown like I used to for a while now (even with previous version of driver), but even with the Dec 12 update, if I unplug my USB wifi at anytime, even if it's not active in networkmanager, I still get kernel panics.

This is a very nicely packaged driver, and works with my Belkin N150 micro usb adapter, (as opposed the version in the kernel), but it gives a kernel panic when powering down, almost every time. It's the last thing, so all drives are unmounted, etc, so not a huge problem, but it prevents machine from powering off. Any ideas?
