Thank you, @amotrak. Due to some unfortunate reason, this change will not be merged upstream, but can only be applied to the source code as a patch. So this modification is written in .patch.

Linux kernel 6.4 will support RTL8188GU natively, and it will be released soon. (Some news said it's on June 25)

I have a bad news for you: the driver doesn't work.

dmesg: https://pastebin.com/sK566iUu

You can use MCMCCRU's repo as your upstream, then apply the patch to the source code before packaging.

Here is the patch.

@jackoneill I don't have rtl8188gu, so I only verified compilation of this repo. At least, @KierPrev's and McMCCRU's could not compile under newer kernel versions, such as 5.19, 6.3.

jackoneill commented on 2023-06-16 18:26 (UTC)

Does https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188gu actually work? The issues are full of people saying it's broken and the recent commits only seem to fix compilation errors.

KierPrev commented on 2023-06-16 18:03 (UTC)

@KafCoppelia I'm very glad you found it and tested it. So the driver should now work under every kernel version

@KierPrev I found lwfinger/rtl8188gu fixed all the bugs(including the one @aquilarubra mentioned) when using the latest kernel. This repository is under active maintainance. So I changed the upstream URL. Also, I tested it.

rtl8xxxu doesn't support AP mode for rtl8188gu though.

rtl8xxxu supports RTL8188GU now. Use rtl8xxxu-dkms-git instead.
