Missing installation step #167

Open ivan-radic opened 8 years ago

ivan-radic commented 8 years ago

Hi there,

thanks for a great repo. On my Fedora 23 box this is the full installation procedure:

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git cd rtl8188eu/ make all sudo make install

this step is missing in README.md

it was not needed in Mint, but it was necessary in Fedora

sudo insmod 8188eu.ko

Best regards, Ivan

After you do a "make install", you ALWAYS need to load the module. Why not use "sudo modprobe 8188eu"? You could also reboot.

I have trouble believing that it was not needed in Mint.

I just loaded Fedora Cinnamon spin in live mode, and was able to make wireless connection by doing:

make all sudo make install sudo modprobe 8188eu

connecting was slow so I restarted network manager with:

systemctl restart NetworkManager

With these steps I was able to get it running without restarting.
