Great to known this package is under care of our dear @runnytu. Haha!

twelveeighty commented on 2013-08-27 00:34 (UTC)

@runnytu: thanks for picking this up!

Hello, i'm the new maintainer of the package, the new version is uploaded and full functional, enjoy it!

twelveeighty commented on 2013-08-25 17:09 (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

moonman commented on 2013-08-25 11:59 (UTC)

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

<deleted-account> 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.

https://raw.github.com/raspberrypi/linux/rpi-3.10.y/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8192cu/os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c Replace the os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c with this one works for me. I download this file into the build dir , and add `mv ${srcdir}/../os_intfs.c os_dep/linux` after patch in my pkgbuild

moonman commented on 2013-07-28 23:40 (UTC)

Please update or disown !

<deleted-account> 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

moonman commented on 2013-06-03 09:59 (UTC)

Thanks for making it by the way, mine is based on yours.

moonman commented on 2013-06-03 09:58 (UTC)

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

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-05-22 11:27 (UTC)

on kernel 3.9 I get 8192cu: Unknown symbol start_kthread (err 0) in dmesg when trying to modprobe

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-03-31 02:36 (UTC)

I’m getting kernel panics when I rmmod the driver. (for example when I try to install a new version.)

ljj038 commented on 2013-03-31 00:16 (UTC)

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.

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-03-21 11:28 (UTC)

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

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-03-21 00:41 (UTC)

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

nuked commented on 2013-03-20 23:27 (UTC)

here is updated patch for kernel 3.8 and 3.7 series https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/852190/+attachment/3579882/+files/use_kthread_run_v2.patch

apicici commented on 2013-03-20 20:55 (UTC)

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.

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-03-20 20:48 (UTC)

I consulted the make.log, too: DKMS make.log for 8192cu-v3.4.4_4749 for kernel 3.8.3-2-ARCH (i686) Mi 20.

Doesn't compile for me anymore with kernel 3.8.3. Additionally, when trying to rebuild via dkms: [root@computer]# dkms autoinstall -k 3.8.3-2-ARCH Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area.... make KERNELRELEASE=3.8.3-2-ARCH ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /usr/lib/modules/3.8.3-2-ARCH/build M=/var/lib/dkms/8192cu/v3.4.4_4749/build modules.....(bad exit status: 2) Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.8.3-2-ARCH (i686) Consult /var/lib/dkms/8192cu/v3.4.4_4749/build/make.log for more information. Any ideas?

johnny.ha commented on 2013-03-20 17:26 (UTC)

Changes in PKGBUILD is fixed.

<deleted-account> commented on 2013-03-20 13:31 (UTC)

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??

johnny.ha commented on 2013-03-19 22:24 (UTC)

Link source code has been changed. Now it works

poincare commented on 2013-03-10 20:39 (UTC)

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)

johnny.ha commented on 2013-01-23 14:14 (UTC)

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.

bminaker commented on 2012-09-07 04:44 (UTC)

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?
