rtl8188fu VS rtl88x2bu

A little internetting and it seems that she'll want to use this driver: https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu

I'm running ubuntu 22.04 and currently have no internet connection. I want to install drivers for my dongle and have copied them over from the Windows install. I downloaded https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu these drivers (they're the only ones that work for my dongle) and I want to install them. I have them already downloaded in a folder, so how do I install them from here?

GitHub Driver With Install instructions for Debian Ubuntu Mint Dirivitives.

The driver for this chip is not part of Linux kernel so you’d have to cross compile the driver and install it : https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu Not easy task

Try the instructions on this page: https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu

So I have trying out different distros for a while and wanted to try out Fedora for a while , i have been using this wifi driver in other distros and wanted to know if this works in Fedora or is there any other way to get this driver for fedora

This probably needs this: https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu Your distro may have a driver for it already. Maybe not.

And then search for that driver in my case it is RTL8188FTV and then try one that works for you like in my case this one worked for me. If you are having any problem you can message me, I'll try to troubleshoot that.

doesn't seem like full details of chinese wifi adapter. Was this the entire message? Anyways, linux is picking up the usb device. Problem is with drivers. I suppose you are using mint. You may need to install this, following the instructions on page for your distro . Nothing wrong will happen if its not the exact device, but if lsusb lists the exact device, and its not the one linked above, you can find instructions to do so with a simple google search. Some distros don't include drivers that are open source. Mint is one the more common ones used

To me this sounds either like bad drivers or bad hardware. There is a reasonably easy way to rule out drivers; test it in linux. Unfortunately this card is not supported by the kernel, however there are drivers available on github. You can test this in a "Live Linux" environment, where you do not have to install it to disk, all you should need is a USB stick and some patience.

Given that a T3500 didn't come with WiFi back in 2011, I'm guessing this is a USB network adapter. Maybe try this github repo. https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu

git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git

https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu Seems like you have to compile these drivers to get the adapter working. I also have a TP-Link wifi adaptor and TP-Link doesn't support the newer Linux kernels and they haven't added it to the Linux kernel by default so it's a bit of a pain to get this working. But if you can figure it out and get it working congrats lol

Is the relevant information... The issue is the rtl88x2bu driver that is built-in to the kernel... It isn't very good. You could consider an alternative driver like https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu using these instructions.

If you are running Kali bare metal or if you have allowed USB pass through then it is most likely a driver issue. Take a look at this repo.

You'd first need to tether your laptop to your phone, then install the kernel headers (sudo pacman -S linux-headers), choose the one that matches your kernel version. Then install this driver. It's in the AUR. Make sure you get the one that says "DKMS" on it.
