#8192cu driver driver
Your wireless driver should start up automatically. You can use the wireless now or, alternatively, you can make sure you have all of your work saved before you type: sudo reboot Then, edit /etc/rc.local by opening the file with your favorite text editor like in this example: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local (use these instructions when your wireless USB device is not automatically recognized by Ubuntu) sudo modprobe rtl8192cuĮcho "2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_idĮcho "rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules That will delete the “old” 8192cu.ko and install the “new” one to the correct directory.Īlso you’ll probably have to run “sudo depmod” before you can modprobe the 8192cu driver.12.04 & 14.04+: you can view these instructions or just do as I say. The 8192cu driver is not deleted but will be in the modules directory of the old kernel, which is why you have to make the package again and install it again.

It only deletes the files that were in the previous kernel package. Installing a new kernel doesn’t delete any driver you might have added yourself. You have to rerun “makepkg -f” after a kernel update, before reinstalling the driver did you forget that part? On boot up (rtl8192cu was still blacklisted at this point and the adapter was not active) I ran modprobe 8192cu. It said it updated it, so I figured oh well that must mean that it installed it again. It said it was already installed, and I realized that that must be because I had it installed, installed the new kernel and it got deleted, but it still thought it was there. I went into the build directory (I had no internet at this point) ran pacman -U on the tar.xz.

#8192cu driver how to
I'll report back if I find out how to solve the overheating. I think it's just too hot in my room, it's about 90 degrees in here.

I just moved the adapter on a cable to the floor, and it seems to be better. In a little while I will try uninstalling and reinstalling rt8192cu and report back. I've tried 8192 and rt8192 as well, and neither work. Alarmed, I tried modprobe rt8192cu, and that got the same result.

I blacklisted rtl8192cu in /etc/modprobe.d/nf and then rebooted. So I took this as an oppurtunity to install rt8192cu (rt, not rtl) again and see if it worked now (because also the other rt8192cu would be gone, the one from realtek that is). I thought it was going to last, but once again the connection failed.īut because I installed a new kernel, all of the modules were gone. So since I last posted, I've tried enabling testing and installing the newer version of the kernel. Sorry about the bump, won't happen again.
