Driver for Linux RTL8188GU (RTL8710B) (VID:PID = 0x0BDA:0xB711)

Driver for Linux RTL8188GU (RTL8710B) (VID:PID = 0x0BDA:0xB711)

Is not original driver from Realtek, is build from source code from others official Realtek drivers.

Compiling & Building

Dependencies

To compile the driver, you need to have make and a compiler installed. In addition, you must have the kernel headers installed. If you do not understand what this means, consult your distro.

Compiling

make

Installing

sudo make install

Disable CDROM mode and select in WiFi mode. (not for Ubuntu 20.04)

eject /dev/cdrom0

Known problems

1. Very slow upload speed.
2. Problem reconnect from KNetworkManager in Kubuntu 20.04.
3. In Ubuntu 20.04 detected as GSM modem, need remove option driver as "sudo rmmod option".

Testing

I tested on Ubuntu 16.04, 20.04 and last version OpenWRT, it's work...

Why this driver can not use after installed some days?

hi, when i installed this driver,it can use normally,but after some days(about two weeks),my computer can't find wifi adapter.
i should recompile and reinstall driver to solver this problem.

linux:Ubuntu 18.04
kernel:5.4.110

thanks

"NetworkManager needs to be running"

Hi everyone.
Sorry for my noob question I'm really new with Linux OS.
My machine runs on Ubuntu 20.04.3 and I intended to use Comfast CFWU815N USB WiFi LAN card. Upon checking via the internet, I found out that the chipset is Realtek 8188gu. So, from there, I stumbled upon this site.
I finished installing the driver by inserting the following commands in the terminal:

 git clone https://github.com/McMCCRU/rtl8188gu

 cd rtl8188gu

 make

 sudo make install

Then, I rebooted my machine, and still couldn't get into the internet. Computer freezes, couldn't start the browser, and the message I get in the browser setting is in the photo attached.

I would appreciate if anyone could assist me.

Many thanks

How was this driver pieced together?

Hi!

I was wondering, how was this driver pieced together? A lot of the files can be found in other Realtek drivers, but the drivers I've seen only have the hal/phydm/rtlxxxxx/halhwimg* files for the chips they support. Same with the firmware. Where did you find those files?

kali-linux can't install this driver.

i install to kali 5.14.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.14.9-2kali1 (2021-10-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux ,
i check the header and make && make install ,but the network will freeze after starting the network in the vm。
i type to any network command ，all will get stuck and fail , PLS help me... 0_0

this is my network card: https://service.mercurycom.com.cn/product-242-2.html

Hi,

Thanks for this driver, unfortunately I tried to install it on the last version of manjaro and dind't work, hope you find out why.

make shows this:

Add support for TOTOLINK N150UA-B

Hi

First, thanks for maintaining this driver.
I have a TOTOLINK N150UA-B usb wireless dongle.
It has a RTL8188GU chip inside, too.
but its VID/PID is 0BDA:2005.
After adding the following line to the file "os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c"
my usb dongle works now.
so I wonder if you can add support for this dongle.
Thanks again!.

{USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0x2005, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8710B},

lsusb: (before/after mode switching)

Datasheet

The kernel hangs out on 5.13 by insmod this module, do you have the chip manual and datasheet of VID:PID = 0x0BDA:0xB711? I want to study this.

谢谢大佬的改版的编译驱动，但我编译安装之后发现还是连不了怎么办？执行操作显示如下(已解决，刚刚发现装上了,我也不知道为啥第一次没装成功orz)

麻烦大佬了！

ubuntu18.04 安装之后也不能开启wifi

大佬您好：
我下载这个驱动安装之后没反应，不知道是啥问题，求大佬指点。

系统：ubuntu18.04
内核：5.4.0
我首先查看了我的usb无线网卡的型号，结果如图：

然后通过搜索得到，我需要安装的网卡驱动为：

通过搜索在GitHub上找到大佬发布的驱动
make和sudo make install 都没有报错，如下图所示，这是我第二次安装之后的结果：

我以为已经安装成功了，然后重启电脑，发现还是不可以使用无线WiFi，如下图：

想问下大佬，我这是哪里操作错误了，请大佬指教

Cannot build on arm linux

when try to make:

Is it works on 32-bit (i386) ubuntu 16.04?

When I installed this driver on my machine, it doesn't work. Even, I could not link the internet through a wired LAN.

Error

i am getting something like this can you please help me

Fails compilation with kernel 6.3.2

I had to edit os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c and change
cfg80211_ch_switch_notify(adapter->pnetdev, &chdef, 0);
to
cfg80211_ch_switch_notify(adapter->pnetdev, &chdef, 0, 0);

as it required 1 more parameter now.

Also, my device did not work. It gives this:
0bda:1a2b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188GU 802.11n WLAN Adapter (Driver CDROM Mode)

But when I do, eject cdrom, it gives this:
0bda:c832 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ax WLAN Adapter

I don't know why it is recognized first as RTL8188GU, but it should be RTL8832CU. Maybe this driver could support RTL8832CU?

can't build on arm64

what should i do?
please help me!

RTL8188GU firmware?

Hi,

Sorry that i am going to ask a question not completely related to this repo.
I found there is a new kernel patch for the RTL8188GU WNIC,
so I built the kernel from the kernel git tree with this patch.
but it needs a firmware file called "rtl8710bufw.bin" to work properly.
How can i find or make this firmware file?
Thanks.

hi, I want to know how to compile the driver on openwrt

Module not working on kernel 5.11 (working until 5.8)

Hi, now I'm booting with 5.8 for making it work, but if I update to the new 5.11 kernel, it builds, makes and installs, but when I do modprobe, the wired network is showing no SSIDs, also my system glitches, sudo don't work anymore, and I have to force restart.

Any solution to make it work for 5.11? I'm on Ubuntu, pretty much clean installation.
I already installed the 5.11 kernel extras, but no luck.

Thanks!

Wifi dongle not exiting CDROM mode in Gentoo

I'm having problems getting the wifi dongle out of CDROM mode in Gentoo. It does not show up as a cdrom but instead as a /dev/sdf. The driver compiles and installs just fine.

Cannot connect to any password protected wifi network

No matter what password am i using (or client: kde tool or nmtui) it doesn't accept my password

[roman@arch ~]$ connmanctl connect wifi_502b731c38a6_486f6d65_managed_psk

Error /net/connman/service/wifi_502b731c38a6_486f6d65_managed_psk: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Compiling for Openwrt

For background i have compiled the whole openwrt firmware i needed via the openwrt build system.

As i understand a package would have to be created to compile this driver. Many times i have tried to create a package Makefile for the feeds needed to compile the this driver and failed miserably, do you have the a particular method for compiling this for openwrt? i can confirm this driver compiles no problem and works on linux based systems on (raspberry pi). As for this compiling properly for openwrt i am a bit over my head.

Do you have a Makefile for the "package"?
I am a bit lost and still trying.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
