The driver code from Realtek uses some functions (kernel_thread() and daemonize()) that have been removed from newer kernels. Fortunately, a helpful person on Github has ported the Realtek driver to the new APIs that accomplish the same thing in 3.8+ kernels.

The port is available at: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu

To install the ported driver (assuming you have git, build-essential and linux-headers-generic already), do:

git clone https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu.git
cd rt8192cu
make
sudo make install

Then, to unload the built-in driver that doesn't work (rtl8192cu) and load your new driver (8192cu):

sudo modprobe -r rtl8192cu
sudo modprobe 8192cu

To keep using your new driver instead of the built-in one, add this to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:

blacklist rtl8192cu

    Did you ever know that you're my hero? You're everything I wish I could be. I could fly higher than an eagle, 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings. Seriously. I've been trying to get my usb wifi adapter recognized by Debian Wheezy for hours, and this was the trick.

  • what to do next after performing above steps ? Sep 30, 2021 at 7:05
  • @BhartiLadumor After loading your new driver with modprobe, make sure the wifi device is attached to the computer, and configure it to connect to wifi like any other wifi device on your distro. On Ubuntu 20.04 (if that kernel is still compatible), you would go to the upper right corner and hopefully see the wifi device in that main system menu, where you can click on it and pick a network.

I was getting this error while trying to compile the rtl8192cu driver under Linux 3.8.X:

I have patched the osdep_service.h file.

I have added this line:

void daemonize(char *, char *);

just before these lines:

inline static void thread_enter(void *context)
{
#ifdef PLATFORM_LINUX
    //struct net_device *pnetdev = (struct net_device *)context;
    //daemonize("%s", pnetdev->name);
    daemonize("%s", "RTKTHREAD");
    allow_signal(SIGTERM);
#endif
}

Hope that helps.

  • I made this patch, and successfully built the module, but it refuses to modprobe in because of (surprise, surprise) "unknown symbol daemonize (err 0)" and, more surprisingly, "unknown symbol kernel_thread (err 0)". This driver needs to be rewritten to use kthread_create.

I just got a D-Link DWA-131 manufactured on May 2013. I similarly see the the same logs in dmesg that existed before the driver install:

[188290.668104] usb 1-2.1.4: Product: 802.11n WLAN Adapter
[188290.668107] usb 1-2.1.4: Manufacturer: Realtek
[188290.668110] usb 1-2.1.4: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001

I use the following kernel:

Linux 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 17 18:16:28 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I fixed the problem with the instructions here: http://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=3515.0

basically -

echo "2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
0
0

That install script requires bash, not sh. That will solve your error messages like install.sh: 48: [: unexpected operator.

However, I am also unable to compile this package on Ubuntu 13.04, and I think it's because the supplied kernel is too new for Realtek's sources. I welcome any advice for workarounds.

Was having the same error. Following this thread fixed it for me :

This thread in turn references ubuntuforums thread (but right now the site is down so can't confirm that).

    Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. What if the Mint forum goes down and disappears, too?? ;-) Jul 25, 2013 at 15:36
