rtl8188eus VS audit-documentation

you can also search on github for the drivers, this one hosted by arhcrack-ng says it supports kernel 6+ and was last updated two weeks ago.

Anyhow, this is a bug report for the same issue: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus/issues/224

The driver is an old build that is supposed to be compiled in the 4.1.4 kernel, and it says that is for the RTL8188EUS but when i did lsusb linux detects the adapter as RTL8188FTV. I tried to compile it with the shell script provided by the disk but it ends in an error when trying to call prandom i think? I did a bit of digging and found that it has something to do with some dependencies that were renamed on newer kernels. So, i tried to find a newer version of the driver online and after opening a hole trough this imaginary wall with headbutts I found and installed https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus but it didn't work as expected and the adapter was still undetected. I did some more digging and found some post over the garuda linux forums about the RTL8188FTV and found a package on the AUR that actually worked on the 6.1 kernel. But again despite appearing with lsmod and being listed as being used by one device;

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus

type=1334 … op=unload says that a BPF program was unloaded. Also likely a red herring. What program has PID 53? sudo ps aux -53, if PID 53 is still alive? It's most likely a BPF program by one of systemd's helpers, a hypervisor (like QEMU under libvirt), NetworkManager's DHCP client, etc. These are users of the driver, not the driver itself.
