WiFi Adapter Driver Install (WNP UA300P)
I've been trying to install the drivers for my wifi adapter but can't find a way to do it. I'm running Xubuntu 16.04. Here's the link, the driver files are in "Support" section.

RTL8192EU by the looks of it (according to amazon). A few RTL8192xx drivers in rtlwifi_new.
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new Although not seeing the EU variant directly. Perhaps covered by the ee one? Or maybe another source tree. https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver You normally need the driver plus the firmware. Most times a version of the firmware comes with the driver, but it might not be the best/newest or included at all. A few kernel.org sources for most of the common firmwares with the latest versions. https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/tutorial...rtl8192eu/5252 Seems to be a success for someone at least in blog format. |
Hello and welcome to the forum :)
Also, if you would, with your adapter plugged in, please open a terminal and post the results of this command... Code:

That being said...the chipset *MAY* be supported through the Ubuntu repositories by running these commands from a terminal: Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi Quote:

Already had these driver files from the official link. I just don't know how to use them. I tried "ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi ・ rtl8192eu-dkms", but I got an error while installing the package. TB0ne, I don't know what you meant by "kernel-source" being installed before building the driver. Sorry if I made anyone cringe while reading this x] |
kernel-source is the build part of a kernel so you can compile against the kernel. In debian it would be package "linux-headers-amd64", versus "linux-image-amd64" which is the kernel that you boot. The headers is basically the build/ part for source compiling. Although when I was looking, it looks like that driver is included by default in debian stretch, the soon to be stable version of debian. So you might not need to do anything special with a reasonably recent distro. AKA it should work out of the box.
