Im trying to follow your directions to get mt DWA-131 to work in a Pi2 with wifi dongle DWA-131 (Dlink). Its a image fron Hoobs (homebridge). When I do the DKms install i get

hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0 Error! echo Your kernel headers for kernel 4.19.75-v7+ cannot be found at /lib/modules/4.19.75-v7+/build or /lib/modules/4.19.75-v7+/source. hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $

Would you have any idea what Im supposed to do to avoid this? Thanks

lord2y commented 4 years ago

Hello,

it seems you didn't install the kernel headers. Have you tried running:

# apt-get install git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms
danlun commented 4 years ago

Yes I have actually but thanks for pointing it out. I did it one more time of course to double check and this came back

It seems you're running an old kernel 4.19.75-v7+ while you installed raspberrypi-kernel-headers version (1.20200114-1) which should come from kernel version 4.19.93-v7. You should check whether raspberrypi-kernel and raspberrypi-kernel-headers are the same version:

 $ dpkg-query -l | egrep -i "\-kernel|\-headers"
ii  raspberrypi-kernel             1.20200114-1                        armhf        Raspberry Pi bootloader
ii  raspberrypi-kernel-headers     1.20200114-1                        armhf        Header files for the Raspberry Pi Linux kernel

In case they aren't please install the latest package for raspberrypi-kernel and try again. That should hopefully solve your issue :smile:

danlun commented 4 years ago

Ahh, yes there was a difference which now is fixed so it looks like above. I did the run the install again, the old errors are gone but this came up.

hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc $ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module: cleaning build area... 'make' all KVER=4.19.93-v7+.....(bad exit status: 2) Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.19.93-v7+ (armv7l) Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8192eu/1.0/build/make.log for more information. hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc $

I will look into the make.log and copy also.

danlun commented 4 years ago

This is the make.log file:

Im not a full blown techy at all, but trying my best..... Appreciate you trying to help //dan

lord2y commented 4 years ago

This is the make.log file:

Looks like your system doesn't have bc installed. Try

apt-get install bc

and let me know

danlun commented 4 years ago

Correct again of course. bc now installed.

This is a HOOBS image Im running to make "homebridge" run om my PI2 and this WIFI dongle dongle, just so I dont spend all your time for no good...... This is the make.log file this time.....

so some progress but still not there....

lord2y commented 4 years ago

Could you try running

make arch=arm

in the root dir of the driver? Let's see if you have better luck :crossed_fingers:

danlun commented 4 years ago

OK, as it seems i have two installs (very possible because i hav etried to get this working for a while, before I found you :-)) First try gave this

hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $ make arch=arm make ARCH=armv7l CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.19.93-v7+/build M=/home/hoobs/.hoobs/etc/rtl8192eu-linux-driver modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-v7+' Makefile:614: arch/armv7l/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: No rule to make target 'arch/armv7l/Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-v7+' make: [Makefile:2298: modules] Error 2

Then I did the same in

hoobs@hoobs:~/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $ make arch=arm

and off we went, building :-) so that last one worked, ending with

...... CC [M] /home/hoobs/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/core/rtw_mp.o LD [M] /home/hoobs/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/8192eu.o Building modules, stage 2. MODPOST 1 modules CC /home/hoobs/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/8192eu.mod.o LD [M] /home/hoobs/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/8192eu.ko make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-v7+' hoobs@hoobs:~/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $

Then I try again with

hoobs@hoobs:~/.hoobs/etc $ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

but it error again with this make.log file

DKMS make.log for rtl8192eu-1.0 for kernel 4.19.93-v7+ (armv7l) Sun 02 Feb 2020 10:42:03 AM MST make ARCH=armv7l CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.19.93-v7+/build M=/var/lib/dk$ make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-v7+' Makefile:614: arch/armv7l/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: No rule to make target 'arch/armv7l/Makefile'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.19.93-v7+' make: [Makefile:2298: modules] Error 2

Am I in wrong diretory with this DKMS install command?

lord2y commented 4 years ago

Cool! Glad you were able to build the module.

Did you run this command in the driver's directory:

dkms add .
lord2y commented 4 years ago

I released v4.19 that should work better with kernel 4.19.xx. You'll find attached also a deb package that should simplify the installation of the driver. You're welcome to test it and let me know whether this will fix your issue.

danlun commented 4 years ago

Yes, this command was done before, but in the wrong directory (or the first one) but I tried again in the correct firectory (where make worked). But I got an error message and the dried to uninstall but didnt succeedd as you can see.

hoobs@hoobs:~/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $ sudo dkms add . Error! DKMS tree already contains: rtl8192eu-1.0 You cannot add the same module/version combo more than once.

hoobs@hoobs:~/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $ sudo dkms uninstall -m rtl8192eu -v 1.0 Error! The module rtl8192eu 1.0 is not currently installed. This module is not currently ACTIVE for kernel 4.19.93-v7+ (armv7l). hoobs@hoobs:~/rtl8192eu-linux-driver $

lord2y commented 4 years ago

Have you tried using this deb: https://github.com/lord2y/rtl8192eu-arm-linux-driver/releases/download/v4.19/rtl8192eu-dkms_1.0_armhf.deb attached to the latest release?

danlun commented 4 years ago

Hi again, sorry for Bring late in reply. I have been included in other projects for a while now. I also have ordered a standard PI WiFi dongle and will test that before going forward. I’m great full for all help and if I can’t get the std PI WiFi to work I will return to this. Thanks Dan

I went the easy way in the end. I have used up to many peoples help and unfortunately, even with all that help I got, it didnt work in the end for me. End result became I bought a PI original (white) USB Wifi dongle which the Hoobs team has as a supported one, and after restarting the PI with a new burned image it all worked out perfect as the instructions says on the Hoobs home page. So I have to use the Dlink wifi dongle somewhere else.... :-) MANY THANKS!!!!!
