RTL8188eus driver support

[mcflyph]

I have bunch of wifi cards which is not supported currently

0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp

So i tried to build a driver against the current build which is

4.19.122-v7+

Got all prep for kernel source (checkout raspberrypi kernel on specific commit)

download the rtl8188eus driver from aircrack-ng https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus

but I'm having error on make

  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
FATAL: parse error in symbol dump file
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:92: __modpost] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1526: modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux'
make: *** [Makefile:2246: modules] Error 2
root@openhd(boot:rw,root:rw):/usr/src/rtl8188eus# 

Same error when I tried different drivers

I've done the same steps on the ezwifibroadcast build for rtl8812au which works.

Is it an issue for this build? or Am I doing it wrong? Is there a guide how to build wifi drivers on the buster/stretch based builds?

If injection actually works I’ll get it added this week, there are more things that have to change than just the driver

Thanks @steveatinfincia

btw, is there a guide on how to do the other procedure aside from building the wifi driver?

I'd like to help on testing other wifi devices that has monitor and injection mode

[steveatinfincia]

The rtl8188eus driver is in there now, however mine has not arrived yet so I have not tested it, let me know if it works.

[mcflyph]

thanks @steveatinfincia will test in now!

[steveatinfincia]

Set the frequency manually, rc17 still has 8188 marked as a 5ghz card so the auto setting won't work.

[mcflyph]

Got it.

[IGNNE]

Closed my issue, my bad for not reading through the existing ones.

[RespawnDespair]

It seems the original issue was fixed with the added support for the 8188 cards. I won't close it right away as I'd like confirmation from @mcflyph or @IGNNE that the cards work. (Don't have one available to check myself)

[mcflyph]

@RespawnDespair I will start testing again to confirm.

Thanks!

Nope, still doesn't work on 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp

Since I'm currently working on the kernels, I just ordered two cards, which (should) contain that chipset, if that's the case I can test some things. I know those drivers are inside the kernel-builder, but needed fixing for the newer kernels, ... that fix should be done, but isn't tested until I have some cards
