linux(debian)安装USB无线网卡(tp-link TL-WN725N rtl8188eu )

1: 台式机家里面不想再走线了。 于是去某东买了个USB无线网卡。tp的WN725N  USB,非常小, 和罗技的优联接收器差不多大。

 

2:  驱动能自己识别是不指望了，既然是usb网卡，插入USB后，那就lsusb

看到新增加了一行Realtek的  ID 0bda:8179

google下了，发现是WN725N_V2

看下芯片组是

Probable Linux driver 8188eu

3: 既然拿到了芯片组号， 那就首先去debian官网看有木有驱动的包, 找到了realtek的固件驱动

http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-realtek

不过支持的列表里面并没有8188eu， 只有8188ce, 8188cu

那就只有去realtek的官网下了, 在

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

逛了一圈，还是没有发现8188eu. 无奈去github上逛逛， 发现了这个

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

 

接下来就好办多了。

记得安装好编译环境和git

 

#apt-get install gcc linux-headers-`uname -r` make automake git

如果不想git， 那直接download zip file也一样的

 

#unzip rtl8188eu-master.zip

#cd rtl818...

#make && make install

接下来

#depmod -a

#modprobe 8188eu 

(撸主开始是modprobe rtlwifi发现还是识别不了，想了半天。。。)

接下来就查看下是否有无线网卡了

#ifconfig -a

 

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 0c:88:77:22:fa:39
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

 

这个时候系统已经装好无线驱动了。用网络管理软件or /etc/network/interfaces 里面都可以配置。

 

注:

但是这个github更新的驱动，信号非常差，重启后信号20%，半米的距离只有2格。 5米几乎就没有了。而且会衰减下去，10秒后信号只有2%了。15秒过后就0%了，根本不能用

这里某群的群主上传了一个8188eu.deb 的包。 试过后发现信号非常稳定， 比windows下的还要强， 推荐这个

安装前需要卸载掉之前安的这个github上下的驱动，

先去/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/ 删除掉rtl8188eufw.bin

然后去/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless 删除掉lib8188eu.ko  （`uname -r` 这个是你的内核版本，比如我的是3.2.0.4-amd64）

然后去删除掉挂载，先查看名字  lsmod | more 找到8188eu

然后rmmod 8188eu

这样就把之前的驱动给卸载掉了

 

然后安装新的deb包的8188eu驱动

dpkg -i rtl8188eu-dkms_0+git20130406_all.deb

如果提示缺少dkms，那就安一个

apt-get install dkms

dpkg -i rtl8188eu-dkms_0+git20130406_all.deb

然后去/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms ,发现多了一个8188eu.ko

先看看wlan0 有没有， ifconfig 发现没有 应该是还没挂上

执行depmod -a

然后insmod 8188eu.ko

再ifconfig -a 发现有了wlan0 

把网络管理切换过去，发现信号很满！ 自此，安装完了8188eu的驱动.
