I'm trying to install these drivers on my rpi following the instructions on this repo.

I've installed the prereqs but end up getting errors only.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any tips?

Thanks!

@Mange any idea?

Mange commented 4 years ago

Nope. I don't use this. I'm on Rpi 3 and 4 now exclusively.

davidobrien1985 commented 4 years ago

This is on a pi3 that I'm trying to build this on. Are you saying that on rpi3 I shouldn't need to install these drivers anymore?

Well yeah, RPi3 has built-in wifi and Bluetooth so there is no need to buy a wifi-dongle for it or install drivers for it.

davidobrien1985 commented 4 years ago

I need a second wifi though, and every blog on this topic on the internet references this repo and following this repo's guidance doesn't work for me. 😥

I see three errors in the output, one of which is just caused by a previous error.

  1. You don't seem to have the kernel sources installed for the running version of the kernel. Maybe you need a reboot so you boot the latest kernel that you have installed?
  2. The installer could not find the bc executable. Maybe you need to install that one too?

Used fresh installation of 2020-02-05 Raspbian Buster Lite for Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms bc
git clone https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver/
export CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC=n
export CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI=y
sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.97+/arch/arm /usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.97+/arch/armv6l
sudo dkms add .
sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

It requires more steps like install bc and run ln.
