After spending quite a few nights without any success, I think it's time for me to ask for some help...
I have a UG802 clone that works well with the finless rom 1.8, including internal wifi. The wifi chip is a rtl 8188eu. Since my main PC died and I currently don't have money to buy a new mainboard+cpu+ram, I thought I'd put picuntu on this hdmi stick. Unfortunately, I see the scene is dead and buried, none of the original picuntu servers are up anymore. The only way I was able to put picuntu on it was to write a complete filesystem image on the SD card from here:
http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...-rk3066-ubuntu
It works well except for the wifi chip, since there is no module for it in this SD card image.
I tried to get 8188eu.ko from various sources, which were 3.0.8 kernel based, but none of them are accepted by modprobe, it rejects them with invalid module format.
I was able to gather as much that I should recompile the module file on my own hdmi stick running picuntu, the source is up on github:
https://github.com/aloksinha2001/pic...less/rtl8188eu
Buttt there is a problem.... the headers are not included in picuntu. Which means I cannot recompile the module. To recompile the wifi module I would need headers. To get headers I would need internet. To have internet I would need wifi module.... I see no way out of this viscous cycle, so would someone be so kind to complie it for me or help in any way?
I'll have to get back with what vermagic the other working modules report.
Edit: they actually report the same vermagic : |
3.0.8+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7
Then why is 8188eu.ko invalid format?
