Anyone with a driver for RTL8192cu wifi dongle (3.0.36+ Kernel) ?

[Blobbo]

Hi,

I simply can't get my wifi dongle to work. Is there any compiled r8712u.ko for the 3.0.36+ Kernel out there? After all reading I guess this should be the right one.

There used to be some floating around the internet, but all seem to be gone.

Thanks a lot!

did you try thr realtek site

Hi,

yes already tried that. However compilation fails as /lib/modules/3.0.36+/build is missing and there is an error (install.sh: 38: [: unexpected operator).

Any idea?

Thanks,
Alex

I got the:RTL8192xC_USB_linux_v3.4.4_4749.20121105.zip
to work.
with unzipped:
cd
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
this was for ubuntu so had to blacklist current wifi driver.
