7 years ago So the problem appears to be the same one discussed https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/issues/104 . Basically I modified the Makefile so the MODDESTDIR line was changed to:
MODDESTDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi
Once this change was made and I ran ./install.sh again it immediately installed and started using the new drivers.
I have pulled the repo and used both the install.sh script and the manual approach to install these drivers. Everything appears to work successfully, however it would appear that the new modules are not being used. I have included some output below. I can certainly help by making a pull request to test fixes if needed.
Thank you, Trevor
