I have sync the masterzorag/RTL8192EU-linux repository with Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver as requested at https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/issues/10

The changes include

Kernel compatibility for 4.8 and 4.11.
dkms.
Minor Makefile fixes.

But are untested, I don't have the real hardware

@nomadmzl, @masterzorag, can you check this branch to send back the changes to Mange (if everything looks fine)?

Hi, I've tested it, this is how I did it:

Download from git: sudo git clone https://github.com/CGarces/RTL8192EU-linux.git
Uninstall actual driver: sudo dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0 --all
Change directory where the Cgarces's git is stored, so I've installed it: sudo dkms add ./RTL8192EU-linux then sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0 (ran flawless)
Reboot
With the line "8192eu" in etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf, I use lshw -c network to check which driver is loaded for the Wifi adapter, I get back rtl8xxxu.
Check at speedtest.net which is the connection speed, I get slow connection (bit rate 1 Mb/s).

For some reason the instruction "8192eu" in the modules.conf file is being ignored. So, again I execute the steps 1 to 4 but now using the git from Mange. When I check again using lshw -c network I get back "8192eu", iwconfig gives me a bit rate of 144 Mb/s, a test in speedtest.net confirms good connection speeds both down/up.

We are missing something here @CGarces can you make a dkms arrange for only the masterzorag driver?

can you make a dkms arrange for only the masterzorag driver?

This branch is the masterzorag driver.

ummmm I see... maybe there is something with the dirver internally that doesn't allows it to be installed in this kernel. I will test compilling it and let you know.

From @nomadmzl on May 8, 2017 18:37

Tests done:

I've downloaded both code from Mange and Masterzorag, compiled it but I couldn't get the 8192eu driver working in any test. I must be doing something wrong, when I restart only the rtl8xxxu module is loaded, I unload it, uninstall it and try to get the 8192eu one up but it doesn't load.

I've returned to the Mange's versión being installed via DKMS and it works fine. I don't know what to do.

@CGarces about sending back the changes to Mange: merging directly this fork will be like overwrite all the old v4.3.8 with v4.4.1, if this is what you want, it's ok; I mean, just before merging, Mange should at least tag the version, and documenting upgrading to v4.4.1 somewhere Or better, using branches for versions, and for linux-4.x.y various fixes in my repo I'm keeping a clean Realtek source, using this scheme

Also, we are just facing issues about, like dkms related etc.

We have to document install note, extending readme

CGarces commented 7 years ago

Yes @masterzorag , I was thinking on a new branch, I need to rebase/reorder again the commits and get something like 4.3.8->4.4.1->Mange patches on top.

@CGarces I've merged your edits into linux-4.11 @nomadmzl check new file or reach me on #freenode 👍

A few comments though. Mine doesn't list Monitor mode as available, should it be there? Other thing, I have noticed every time I reboot the MAC address of the device changes. It didn't happen with the old Mange driver. Tried compiling in kernel 4.10 and got the same result as @nomadmzl. Thank all of you for your effort patching and porting the driver...

@gilcu3 monitor mode is disabled by default, you have to set it and rebuild to get it supported. The MAC address is defaulting to a random one, check/use _rtwinitmac parameter on module loading.

@nomadmzl I'm tracking down the missing piece, but since module compiles fine for linux-4.9.25 here, can't reproduce (I don't use dkms/ubuntu):

gcc version 4.9.4 (Gentoo 4.9.4 p1.0, pie-0.6.4)

I'm assuming you are compiling with gcc >= 5.x

CGarces commented 7 years ago

Please check this to compile with gcc 5.x

PS: something strange about monitor mode, yesterday I managed to recompile rt8xxxu and get it working with my dongle, and nothing worked except monitor mode :) So I'm sure my dongle is capable.

on MAC address

It's working like expected in my test, it works by default this way:

read MAC from EFUSE, if can't: randomize MAC
set MAC address

We can override default by passing _rtwinitmac module parameter:

# rmmod 8192eu
# modprobe 8192eu rtw_initmac="00:de:ad:be:ef:00"

# ifconfig wlan1 up
# ifconfig wlan1

about MAC: when I insert the device, I get

[ 4307.767762] RTL871X: rtw_ndev_init(wlan0) if1 mac_addr=18:a6:f7:1f:10:eb
[ 4307.768062] RTL871X:  [0x00100000,5]-871x_drv - drv_init, success!
[ 4308.303195] rtl8192eu 3-1:1.0 wlp0s20u1: renamed from wlan0

in dmesg, and that's the correct MAC address, the interface is changed by something at the end, not sure if it's the driver, although it seems something related to udev, or I don't know. After that:

#ip addr show dev wlp0s20u1
9: wlp0s20u1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0e:b9:19:32:73:58 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

so the MAC address changed, and I see nothing about it on dmesg. Do you have any clue about who could be changing MAC?

About monitor, how do you activate monitor mode? Or maybe the problem here is related with the former? When I used rt8xxxu and got monitor mode, wireshark captured packets, so sniffing was working rigth?

CGarces commented 7 years ago

From @masterzorag on May 10, 2017 21:41

Don't unplug nothing, just:

# rmmod 8192eu
# modprobe 8192eu rtw_initmac="00:de:ad:be:ef:00"

* check:
# grep mac_addr /var/log/messages
* double check with systool:
# systool -v -m 8192eu | grep mac
    rtw_initmac         = "00:de:ad:be:ef:00"

maybe some other setting is changing your MAC, somewhere; For monitor mode, you can use a wrapper # airmon-ng start wlan1 or # iw dev wlan1 set monitor none

From @gilcu3 on May 10, 2017 21:46

#dmesg -w | grep mac_addr

    rtw_initmac         = "(null)"

So, why null??

From @gilcu3 on May 10, 2017 22:20

About monitor mode (following this guide), with iw command works like a charm, no error or warning, don't know why airmon-ng doesn't find the driver. Anyway using tcpdum like this: tcpdump -i mon0 -n -w wireless.cap couldn't capture anything, although I know there are packets around :) Does packet capture work for you?

CGarces commented 7 years ago

From @gilcu3 on May 11, 2017 0:37

@masterzorag I found the source of the MAC changing problem, I had NetworkManager doing some stuff under the hood. Please confirm if you are able to capture packets. Next I'll test on kernel 4.10

Also, _rtwinitmac is "NULL" when you don't pass the module parameter, so it's right.

@nomadmzl can you pull my changes and test?

CGarces commented 7 years ago

From @gilcu3 on May 11, 2017 11:43

@masterzorag Great!!! Following your steps to the letter, I got monitor mode and captured packets 🥇 The MAC address problem was indeed the default in NetworkManager in recent versions, randomized when not connected, disabled that and got normal behaviour. So for me no problem with the driver in 4.4 kernel. Thank you

I'm now compiling the module in linux-4.10, got the same error as @nomadmzl before:

search for the definition of that "function" in my kernel source, found it here:

cat /usr/lib/modules/4.10.11-1-ARCH/build/include/linux/compat.h | grep is_compat
#define is_compat_task() (0)

So it's not a function, just a define, couldn't it be messing things up?

CGarces commented 7 years ago

From @gilcu3 on May 11, 2017 12:21

found this:

cat /usr/lib/modules/4.10.11-1-ARCH/build/include/linux/compat.h | grep is_compat
static inline bool in_compat_syscall(void) { return is_compat_task(); }
#define is_compat_task() (0)

In old kernels it was an inline function, so tried changing all references from is_compat_task to in_compat_syscall and now it compiles :)

CGarces commented 7 years ago

From @gilcu3 on May 11, 2017 12:25

Right now tested on 4.10, and it's working :)

CGarces commented 7 years ago

@gilcu3 I don't have time to patch my branch or send a PR to @masterzorag

If any one needs to patch the code and solve the is_compat_task issue, please use this as reference.

If tests will be good, I've prepared a tag for this point :label:

CGarces commented 7 years ago

First of all sorry for move the original issue to this repository

I know that this will add more confusion, but I have created this branch as fork from Mange, with the following "improvements"

The branch is named as the driver version, not as kernel version. The idea is create a driver that compile on all modern kernels not focused on 4.11
Get the Mange modifications in the correct way, for example 83638179d7f8833a924c972288e79e719188e494 was missing
Now keeps the correct commit history, that means: Original driver 4.3.1 ->Tarball of v4.3.8_12406.20140929-> Tarball v4.4.1 > all changes from @masterzorag + all changes from Mange.

It worked using this branch 4.11 in Ubuntu, Kernel 4.8 (compiles fine: 0 errors) - with a Comfast dongle:

Maybe is there an issue merging Menge's and Masterzorag's'? if you have time to check it, I'll test it again.
