Hi, does anyone knows if any rtl8192eu driver can be used?

Comfast has 5.8.11 it is listed for the USB dongle model CF-811AC that use the RTL8811CU, listed as compatible with RTL8192EU by Realtek

What do you think?

No, it won't work. You will have to use the rtl8xxxu driver shipped with Linux or find a driver for the 8811CU elsewhere. They are not cross compatible, the 'driver' you linked to in realtek's website is actually a bundle containing various different adapter drivers for Windows.

The driver in this repository is only for USB dongles with the 8192eu chip.

Hi, thanks for your answer, does maybe this one from Comfast would work? http://en.comfast.com.cn/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=30&id=332

That driver is unmaintained and has likely been broken for some time now. Just use the driver included in the kernel:

sudo modprobe rtl8xxxu

Then add it to load at boot

echo "rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules.load.d/60-my-wifi.conf

It's completely adequate for daily usage.

Also, you could check with lsusb if the computer can see if the device is plugged in the first place. It'd show up on the list.
