I added a driver for this adapter to PPA. I have verified the inf file(driver package for Windows) and found the driver (rtl8192eu) is correct.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192eu-dkms
Followed below steps also
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.git
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8192eu
I was following steps mentioned in following link (I am not allowed to post the link).. I am getting "Invalid driver!" message as mentioned below.
himansu@himansu-Inspiron-5537:~/Desktop/DWA/Win81x86$ sudo ndiswrapper -i Dnetrtwlanu.inf
driver dnetrtwlanu is already installed
himansu@himansu-Inspiron-5537:~/Desktop/DWA/Win81x86$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
[COLOR=#ff0000]dnetrtwlanu : invalid driver!
I have received the driver for Linux from below link.
http://files.dlink.com.au/Products/D…r_v4.3.1.1.zip
Now I upgraded to 16.04 LTS to hope that my wireless adapter works. However no luck yet. Kindly help me resolve the issue..
I would really appreciate it.
The directory/file was removed & rebboted the system as suggested.
code
himansu@himansu-Inspiron-5537:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -r dnetrtwlanu
[sudo] password for himansu:
himansu@himansu-Inspiron-5537:~$ sudo ndiswrapper -r dnetrtwlanu
couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/dnetrtwlanu: No such file or directory
@Jeremy- Reboot after removing ndiswrapper driver, didn't resolve the issue. I have run the script & got the info generated. uploaded at below link. Kindly review & suggest. https://gist.github.com/hmsvigle/9e3d711375595152bc2cda2bf3ae6593
Best Answer
I don't believe the ndiswrapper command was exactly correct. Please try:
Please post any errors or warnings and we'll try to fix them.
Next, I don't believe the rtl8192eu-dkms package covers your exact device; let's remove it:
Finally, I believe the Mange package from github is correct. Just to be on the safe side, let's get a fresh clone:
Reboot and tell us if the wireless is working. As before, post any errors and we'll try to fix them. A few warnings are probably harmless.
