Hi

Please appy this patch.

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/commit/aba46cd4dfe721df79fb24f7c9097f2b54006df3

Ok. Thank you - Will try and get back to you soon.

I installed the driver stated in your link above but same problem persists - It fails with error "Error: Connection activation failed: (53) The Wi-Fi network could not be found". I built it using make & make install and not DKMS way - driver built was successful (install -p -m 644 88x2bu.ko /lib/modules/5.15.0-0.rc4.33.fc36.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/) - but wifi could not be activated

Have I done something wrong? Please let me know.

Hi. You can't use 88x2bu driver from https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/ You must use the change from that commit to modify the source code of rtl8192eu, and compile it.

jdb130496 commented 3 years ago

Yes. I realized my mistake and copies that .c extension file to the core directory and recompiled via DKMS but bad exit still persists. make.log attached here. make.log

jdb130496 commented 3 years ago

Just to clarify - I copied the c source file from your given link to this driver core directory and then recompiled.

No, you must change just the 7 lines from the commit.

jdb130496 commented 3 years ago

I have to change 7 lines (highlighted in green colour in the source cited by you) in which c file in this source because there is no similar file like file named rtw_br_ext_c here like that in the link cited by you? Sorry for my ignorance - I am quite raw in building drivers from source in linux.

jdb130496 commented 3 years ago

Thank you for your support but even after my many efforts to locate where to include those 7 lines in c source files, I could not figure it out; meanwhile I found another source here https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux - I could build the driver from source there successfully using DKMS for Fedora rawhide (kernel 5.15 rc4) because it already has recently included support for kernel 5.15. Best wishes.

Closing the issue for now.
