Not working with newly released Kernel 5.3.0 on ubuntu 18.04 #41

Closed mpdt closed 5 years ago

Hi Cilynx,

Even though the module already exists in the DKMS tree, when inserting the WiFi dongle it is not recognised at all. Modprobing again makes no difference.

As a result I have reverted back to 5.2.16, where it is working brilliantly :-)

Hi @mpdt and @cilynx I'm not sure if it's related, please test this patch https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/commit/e7361e951c15d998f8c63b45478ef320d447f769

Hi @CGarces Looking at your patch here, it does look like it could be the same issue. I don't have time to test it myself right now, but when I do I will. Thanks for your help :-)

@karubabu's fix looks good to me -- merged. Could someone please confirm functionality and either provide a uname -a and gcc --version here or send a PR to update the README? Thanks!

In case y'all bleeding-edge folks are interested, I stumbled upon the 5.6.1 upstream version a couple days ago and have now ported the updates. I'm getting tired of repo-roulette, so the below will be the last new rtl88x2bu repo and new upstream versions will be managed in branches going forward. Once I get a few confirmations that 5.6.1 is working as expected, I'll archive this repo off like the older ones and add a link in the README to our new home.
