Drivers for the rtl8192eu chipset for wireless adapters (D-Link DWA-131 rev E1 included!)

rtl8192eu linux drivers

NOTE: This branch is based on Realtek's driver versioned 4.4.1. master is based on 4.3.1.1 originally.

The official drivers for D-Link DWA-131 Rev E, with patches to keep it working on newer kernels. Also works on Rosewill RNX-N180UBE v2 N300 Wireless Adapter and TP-Link TL-WN821N V6.

NOTE: This is just a "mirror". I have no knowledge about this code or how it works. Expect no support from me or any contributors here. I just think GitHub is a nicer way of keeping track of this than random forum posts and precompiled binaries being sent by email. I don't want someone else to have to spend 5 days of googling and compiling with random patches until it works.

Source for the official drivers

Official drivers were downloaded from D-Link Australia. D-Link USA and the european countries I checked only lists revision A and B. Australia lists all three.

• Download page for DWA-131
• Direct download link for Linux drivers

  • GitHub will not link to the ftp:// schema. Raw link contents:

    ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DWA-131/REV_E/Drivers/DWA-131_Linux_driver_v4.3.1.1.zip

In addition, you can find the contents of this version in the initial commit of this repo: 1387cf623d54bc2caec533e72ee18ef3b6a1db29

Patches

You can see the applied patches, their sources and/or motivation by looking at the commits. The master branch will mostly be kept clean with a single commit per patch, except for Pull Requests. You can review commit by commit and then record the SHA in order to get a safe reference to use. As long as the SHA stays the same you know that what you get has been reviewed by you.

Note that updates to this README will show up as separate commits. I will not mix changes to this file with changes to the code in case you want to mirror this without the README.

Building and installing using DKMS

This tree supports Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS), a system for generating kernel modules from out-of-tree kernel sources. It can be used to install/uninstall kernel modules, and the module will be automatically rebuilt from source when the kernel is upgraded (for example using your package manager).

1. Install DKMS and other required tools

   • for normal Linux systems

   sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms

   • for Raspberry Pi

   sudo apt-get install git raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential dkms

   Make sure you're installing same headers version as your current running kernel. If you just installed Raspbian it ships with an older kernel version than you'll get headers for after installing raspberrypi-kernel-headers. You must either run sudo apt-get upgrade or install exact same raspberrypi-kernel-headers-XXX version as your kernel is before executing dkms install. If you have version mismatch you'll get "Your kernel headers for kernel XXX cannot be found at YYY" error.

2. Clone this repository and change your directory to cloned path.

   git clone https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

   cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver

3. The Makefile is preconfigured to handle most x86/PC versions. However, if you are compiling for something other than an intel x86 architecture, you need to first select the platform.

   • for the Raspberry Pi, you need to set the I386 to n and the ARM_RPI to y:

   ...
   CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
   ...
   CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y

   • for arm64 devices (e.g. Orange Pi PC 2):

   ...
   CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
   ...
   CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_AARCH64 = y

4. Add the driver to DKMS. This will copy the source to a system directory so that it can used to rebuild the module on kernel upgrades.

   sudo dkms add .

5. Build and install the driver.

   sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

6. Distributions based on Debian & Ubuntu have RTL8XXXU driver present & running in kernelspace. To use our RTL8192EU driver, we need to blacklist RTL8XXXU.

   echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8xxxu.conf

7. Force RTL8192EU Driver to be active from boot.

   echo -e "8192eu\n\nloop" | sudo tee /etc/modules

8. Newer versions of Ubuntu has weird plugging/replugging issue (Check #94). This includes weird idling issues, To fix this:

   echo "options 8192eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8192eu.conf

9. Update changes to Grub & initramfs

   sudo update-grub; sudo update-initramfs -u

10. Reboot system to load new changes from newly generated initramfs.

    systemctl reboot -i

11. Check that your kernel has loaded the right module:

    sudo lshw -c network

You should see the line driver=8192eu

If you wish to uninstall the driver at a later point, use sudo dkms uninstall rtl8192eu/1.0. To completely remove the driver from DKMS use sudo dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0 --all.

Using as AP

Reference: Intelbras IWA 3001 USB WiFi Adapter
Devices using the 8192eu chip can serve as decent access points, with speeds up to ~50Mbps.

Using hostapd to manage your AP, set the proper ht-capab field for this device, which is:

HT_CAPAB=[RX-STBC1][SHORT-GI-40][SHORT-GI-20][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-7935]

Optionally enable wideband, if you don't have neighbours:
Note that while this will result in a increase in network throughput it may cause clients further away to fail connecting.
It may also make the device work better with repeaters repeating its signal.

HT_CAPAB=[HT40+][RX-STBC1][SHORT-GI-40][SHORT-GI-20][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-7935] (for channels 1-7), or
HT_CAPAB=[HT40-][RX-STBC1][SHORT-GI-40][SHORT-GI-20][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-7935] (for channels 5-13)

Changing transmit power

Currently there is no way to change transmit power in the driver with iw or iwconfig tools, as you would with other wireless devices.
The values returned by these tools are purely fictional on this driver. However, you can still manually change the transmit power at compile time by editing the file hal/rl8192e/rtl8192e_phycfg.c and changing the lines below:

/* Manual Transmit Power Control 
   The following options take values from 0 to 63, where:
   0 - disable
   1 - lowest transmit power the device can do
   63 - highest transmit power the device can do
   Note that these options may override your country's regulations about transmit power.
   Setting the device to work at higher transmit powers most of the time may cause premature 
   failure or damage by overheating. Make sure the device has enough airflow before you increase this.
   It is currently unknown what these values translate to in dBm.
*/


// Transmit Power Boost
// This value is added to the device's calculation of transmit power index.
// Useful if you want to keep power usage low while still boosting/decreasing transmit power.
// Can take a negative value as well to reduce power.
// Zero disables it. Default: 2, for a tiny boost.
int transmit_power_boost = 2;
// (ADVANCED) To know what transmit powers this device decides to use dynamically, see:
// https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8192ee/blob/42ad92dcc71cb15a62f8c39e50debe3a28566b5f/hal/phydm/rtl8192e/halhwimg8192e_rf.c#L1310


// Transmit Power Override
// This value completely overrides the driver's calculations and uses only one value for all transmissions.
// Zero disables it. Default: 0
int transmit_power_override = 0;


/* Manual Transmit Power Control */

rtl8192eu-linux-driver's Issues

Shipped with main kernel

Maybe a strange question, is it possible to get this driver shipped with the main kernel so it is by default available to all?

tp-link usb wifi installation on Kali linux 4.6.0

Hi Gurus,

I was searching for hours and found ton of how-to's to compile and install driver for TL-WN821N v5 on Debian Kali linux. The problem is that tp-link source is supporting linux up to kernel 3.10.10 and my kali version is 4.6.0
http://www.tp-link.com/us/download/TL-WN821N.html#Driver
I couldn't find anything on how to get around it and install the drivers.
Can anyone give me a hand?

Cheers

Ubuntu 16.04 kernel 4.13.0-32

Hi Guys,
not sure what info is required but when following the normal install process i was having issues with 70% packet loss on what should of been a stable connection,
after changing the make file to turn off power management, and set tx power to max the issue seems to have been resolved.

Works on my Ubuntu (studio) 16.04.3 but only after plug out and in

I installed this driver on my Ubuntu (studio) 16.04.3 and rebooted. When I plugged in the wifi dongle, it works. But when I reboot with the dongle plugged in, it doesn't work (it doesn't detect any wifi signals) until I remove it and plug it back in. Then it recognizes wifi signals and connects to mine.
Can anyone help? How can the dongle work without plugging it out and in?

DKMS

I am running Arch Linux, and this module works perfectly.
But how to install using dkms?
After each upgrade i need reinstall the module.

Upload speed limited to 1 Mb/s

Perhaps RTL8192eu supports bit rates up to 54 Mb/s, when connected it only shows 1 Mb/s in connection properties.

Using www.speedtest.net I've checked first connecting via ethernet cable and I got 2 Mb/s upload (that's right accoding with my Internet plan), but when I change to the wireless connection (USB dongle RTL8192eu), I only get 0,8 Mb/s.

The Wifi connection is 70/70 quality, -30dBm and the router is 1 ft away, so there isn't a location or barrier issue. I've tried to change the bit rate using: sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M but nothing happens (or get an error). The acepted bit rates between the WIFI dongle and the access point was obtained using: iwlist command.

Download speed has no issues, it can go up to 10Mb/s so far (may be more with a better internet plan), the issue is in the upload speed.

Need Help, Thank you

i still cant get my driver work!

I already installed the driver, but I can not connect to a wifi network

Hello, i have a TP-LINK adapter WN823N connect it to kali linux ande install this driver https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.

Before installing the driver i only had one or two networks to "reach" because i did not have a good signal and it was impossible to connect to a network, after installing the driver mentioned above restart my kali linux and when i select, select networks , more networks came out and with good signal then i proceeded to connect to my wifi network, i put the key and it did not connect i stayed there loading, i tried to navigate and i did not have access.

someone help me please

Problems on making file....

Hi, how are you?
Im kinda fine.

Device keeps asking for password. Ubuntu 16.04.3

I have installed the driver from the main repository and I can see a list of networks in the area. However, it keeps asking for the password (even if I set the WiFi to open access without password) and does not connect.

Is there a version that supports kernel 4.10?

new driver found

Hey guys, look what I have found here:
http://tendacn.com/en/product/download/U1.html
When you download the drivers for linux, you get a folder named:
RTL8192EU_linux_v5.2.7_22739_COEX20170113-0046.20170615
with the whole driver and updated docs by realtek up to 20170615.
@masterzorag @CGarces @Mange @nomadmzl I think we have some work to do :D

Not an Issue persay but rather weird

the driver 8192eu state that monitor mode and other custom modes are not supported except for Managed,Master and Ad-Hoc. That is entirely false. On the RTL8xxxu all those modes work. I'm on an antenna based dongle so RLT8xxxu isnt configured for that(Extremely low signal, we talking -100dBm when the internal says -60dBm).

On os_dep/linux/ioctl_linux.c those modes were intentionally removed and on the rest of the source, for what good reason i dont know. If u modify one of the cases from line 1465 and rename it to monitor instead and use iwconfig **** mode monitor, it does recognise just not able to apply since the mode is missing entirely.

bottom line, the chipset supports all these fancy modes but the source does not.

Can't install dkms

After using this:
pi@rpi:~ $ sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
This happens:

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package linux-headers-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'linux-headers-generic' has no installation candidate

And this won't work:

pi@rpi:~ $ dkms add . -bash: dkms: command not found

kernel 4.4.50-v7+ cannot be found

Updated driver for RTL8192eu: v4.3.8_12406.20140929

I've found an updated driver newer than v4.3.1.1_11320.20140505:

The driver v4.3.8_12406.20140929 features:

1. Support Adaptivity (v7.1)
2. Fix efuse write failed problem.
3. Improve performance of Soft-AP mode.
4. Adjust driver procedure to eliminate RF interference.
5. Clear up all compile warning.
6. Fix IOT issue with some AP’s RA mechanism

I've followed this guide to compile it, but I couldn't get it done: https://scdas141.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/how-to-compile-mangertl8192eu-linux-driver-driver/

if someone else (with some compiling skills unlike me) could give it a try...

Can't connect with secured wifi networks after installing a desktop-environment

Hi guys, i have a little problem with the wireless adapter TP-Link TL-WN821N v5.
I tried it with this driver, and it worked at the beginning. But when I installed a desktop-environment, the adapter doesn't connect with my wifi network.

I tried to connect manually with wpa_passphrase and wpa_supplicant. Before the desktop-environment it works, after the install it doens't work anymore.

I recognized with ifconfig, that the MAC-address is sometimes changing.

I would be very happy, if you can help me and solve the problem.

Can't build module under Linux kernel 4.10.13

After installing the latest linux kernel as of time (4.10.13) dkms is unable to build the module.

TxPower set not working ... stuck at 12 dBm

Hi,

Thanks for putting this driver on a public place and all your work on it!

I am trying to adjust my 8192EU txpower level and it is stuck at 12 dBm ... I have tried many different commands and combinations ... any ideas on how I can set the txpower?

Finds networks but can't connect

Hello, I've just installed your driver on kali 4.6.0. It recognizes the wireless adapter (tp-link tl-wn823n v2) and finds the networks. But it fails to connect to all of them. I've tried the same on ubuntu 16.10 and have exactly the same issue. Both, Kali and Ubuntu are virtual box machines, is that the problem? If not, do you know any solution? Thanks

Support for kernel 4.15.0-2

Sorry, just close this issue, my mistake. The new version works great with this version of the kernel

issue with networks which don't broadcast the SSID

Hello, I compiled this driver on raspberry pi 3.
I'm using a DLINK DWA-131 Rev E1. It works fine with networks which broadcast the SSID but it doesn't with the ones that don't.

I got this in the log:

Any ideas?

Build not working if cross compile

When I try to cross compile this driver for an IMX6.
The build process stops without any error.

Is cross compile supported by this driver?

TP-LINK TL-WN823N V2 WiFi adapter

I've been testing this driver for a few days, and I can tell that it works nice with TP-LINK TL-WN823N V2 WiFi adapter . I've got transfer around 170 mbit/s. There's a few problems with replugging/unplugging the device. I always get the following log:

Doesn't work with tl-wn822n v4

Ubuntu 16.04:

git clone https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver
make # added an ignore to date error on makefile
sudo make install
reboot

lsusb:

bus 001: Device 003: ID 2357:0108

Have I missed a step?

Answer

@jeremyb31's repo does work.

git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8192eu-linux-driver
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver
make
sudo make install
reboot

Then it will be shown on iwconfig, although on lsusb it will show as before.

If doesn't work try rfkill list all; lshw -c net

Any ideas about how to solve this issue?

Support for kernel 4.15?

Got this error:

I'm guessing it's due to lack of support.

Fix build regression due to netdev destructor fix.

I need some free time to check this regresion bug.

D-Link DWA-131 rev E1 is not supported in default branch (realtek-4.4.x)

Drivers for the rtl8192eu chipset for wireless adapters (D-Link DWA-131 rev E1 included!)

Turns out USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x3319) was removed in 9dde457

driver is noisy

By default, the driver fills up the log with tons of messages. Here's a 1m capture from syslog

I managed to silence the power save messages by loading the driver with options 8192eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 rtw_ips_mode=0 but I still get the SetHwReg8192E(enx98ded01a7873): [HW_VAR_MACID_SLEEP] every minute, even though it has already connected:

How can I silence that too? I don't need the driver to still scan while it's already connected.

add blacklist and disable-power-manager files

It need for building the akmods.
Same here: https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes

I tryed to build akmod package and did rewrite necessary files:
https://github.com/F1ash/rtl8192eu-kmod-common/blob/master/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf
https://github.com/F1ash/rtl8192eu-kmod-common/blob/master/8192eu-disable-power-management.conf

The installed kernel module works, but i can't use adapter as AP. And in dmesg periodically filled by module messages.

Support for Linux 4.10

I have been using this patch since Linux 4.7 and it has worked flawlessly ever since. I was wondering if support for Linux 4.10 would be added as it is the default kernel in the upcoming Ubuntu 17.04?

[Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver] unable to compile after Kernel 4.9.x upgrade..

Hi,

Many thanks first of all, I have been using this [Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver] package since kernel 4.6.x.. Infact, this has been the only working driver package for my TP-LINK TL-WN823N V2 adapter..

But since I upgraded to kernel 4.9.x, I have been unable to compile this package.. I am enclosing the error Root-terminal output for "make && make install":

The problem is that in rtw_adapter_proc_init the device entry is registered like so: dir_dev = rtw_proc_create_dir(dev->name, drv_proc, dev); Later, in rtw_adapter_proc_deinit it's unregistered with remove_proc_entry(dev->name, drv_proc); . The problem is that between registration/unregistration it's possible for the device to be renamed. This causes the unregistration function to fail and leak some memory.

This could be fixed in two ways:

1. Statically remember the first name with which the device proc entry is created and when unregistering use that statically rather than the name which the net_device currently holds

2. Implement a netdevice notifier routine which will get called when the device is renamed, at this point the code should remove the old proc entry, and re-create it with the new name.

Create new branch for v4.4.1

Wifi disconnects every few minutes on Linux 4.8.0-48

Ever since the upgrade to Linux 4.8.0-48, the USB Wifi adapter disconnects every few minutes. So I have to re-plug in the device for it to work.
Note: There is no problem with the network itself as the in-built adapter and even other devices stay connected to the network.

don't support soft ap?

I'm using tenda U1 USB wifi，It support soft app on windows，but not work on ubuntu。

TL-WN822N V 4.0 can connect to open networks but not WPA2-PSK

Hey all,
So got the driver and compiled it, however I can connect only to open wifi networks, any attempt to connect to a WPA2 authenticated network fails.

I have a few other wifi devices and they seem to connect to the network fine.

Using Ubuntu 17.04, kernel 4.10.0-28-generic.

Please add kernel 4.9 compatibility

I just upgrade my kernel to 4.9, and my wifi adapter can't work. please add compatibility for kernel 4.9.

Many thanks

Less verbose output

Is there a way to set some verbosity level so the log wasn't that messy?
