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

rtl8192eu linux drivers

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.

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.

Patches

You can see the applied patches, their sources and/or motivation by looking at the commits. The master branch will be kept clean with a single commit per patch. You can review patch by patch and then record the SHA for that commit 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.
