Weird conflict/dependency/maybe-bug hell with Debian Bookworm and RTL8188FTV (0bda:f179)

Posted 06-27-2023 at 10:14 AM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 06-30-2023 at 10:30 AM by the dsc (news)

There's some weird situation, for me at least, where apparently I can't install the headers of linux 6, due to failure in dkms building the module for this USB wireless adapter. Which in turn depends on the headers themselves being installed, if I'm not misunderstanding, which may well be the case.

Additionally, there were some reported bugs in some stuff, G++ and/or GCC, while updating from frankendebian-pre-Bookworm to what may be a more proper bookworm release. Although I think...

How I got my obscure Realtek USB wireless adapter to work

Posted 09-27-2019 at 03:07 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)
Updated 11-05-2020 at 02:40 PM by the dsc (more relevant things to add)

The device is " 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11n," per lsusb. Using this driver:

Not the deb files, the dkms path. (Speaking of path, I have the impression it has explicitly coded paths and needs to be installed from /usr/src)

Including the added settings regarding USB plugging and power management issues, AND the advice on this forum:

iPhones, Linux and Service Discovery

Posted 05-14-2017 at 12:25 PM by Rod3775

Service Discovery

Service discovery refers to the process of getting additional information about resources in a distributed (e.g. networked) system. iPhones are particularly dependent on service discovery. This blog concerns the process of discovering services (specifically remote printer sevices) and IP addresses (e.g name service) and the various ways this can be done.

<Short digression>:

IP network messages can be sent in one of three ways,...

Intel DP67BG motherboard issues, pt 2

Posted 03-05-2012 at 07:23 PM by Rod3775

The wireless dongle that comes with the DP67BG has the USB ids for an MSI 3070. It contains a Ralink 2870 chip, which is not really very documented. Slackware64 comes with dueling drivers for it. Loading both is a bad idea. The ra2870sta driver needs to be blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. The ra2x00/ra2860 set of modules (4 in all) will be loaded. Needless to say, you need to go to the modular kernel to make all this work!

At this writing, there are problems keeping...

Desktop wireless

Tags linux, wireless

Moving away from the general theme of depression and existential angst, I'd like to report a (however partial) small success: I'm posting this from my desktop computer, without the need for it to "piggy-back" on my laptop's wireless connection.

There's a slight catch, though: I'm having to do it roughly the same way I did it on Ubuntu: install ndiswrapper, set up the Windows driver for my Netgear WN111 USB wireless dongle through ndiswrapper, and hope for the best. It...
