[How-To]Getting WiFi adapter based on realtek 8188eu to work

Postby moonman » Sun May 26, 2013 9:04 am

So far only I know of 1 adapter that this is useful for: TP-Link TL-WN725N v2. The module will get compiled on the device so it may take several minutes. Also it will get recompiled with every kernel update. This module is in the repository available for all architectures.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy dkms-8188eu')

Make sure to activate dkms service so that the module is rebuilt automatically with a kernel upgrade:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable dkms
systemctl start dkms')

Control parameters supported:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'parm: rtw_ips_mode:The default IPS mode (int)
parm: ifname:The default name to allocate for first interface (charp)
parm: if2name:The default name to allocate for second interface (charp)
parm: rtw_initmac:charp
parm: rtw_channel_plan:int
parm: rtw_chip_version:int
parm: rtw_rfintfs:int
parm: rtw_lbkmode:int
parm: rtw_network_mode:int
parm: rtw_channel:int
parm: rtw_mp_mode:int
parm: rtw_wmm_enable:int
parm: rtw_vrtl_carrier_sense:int
parm: rtw_vcs_type:int
parm: rtw_busy_thresh:int
parm: rtw_ht_enable:int
parm: rtw_cbw40_enable:int
parm: rtw_ampdu_enable:int
parm: rtw_rx_stbc:int
parm: rtw_ampdu_amsdu:int
parm: rtw_lowrate_two_xmit:int
parm: rtw_rf_config:int
parm: rtw_power_mgnt:int
parm: rtw_smart_ps:int
parm: rtw_low_power:int
parm: rtw_wifi_spec:int
parm: rtw_antdiv_cfg:int
parm: rtw_antdiv_type:int
parm: rtw_enusbss:int
parm: rtw_hwpdn_mode:int
parm: rtw_hwpwrp_detect:int
parm: rtw_hw_wps_pbc:int
parm: rtw_max_roaming_times:The max roaming times to try (uint)
parm: rtw_fw_iol:FW IOL (int)
parm: rtw_mc2u_disable:int
parm: rtw_80211d:Enable 802.11d mechanism (int)
parm: rtw_notch_filter:0:Disable, 1:Enable, 2:Enable only for P2P (uint)
parm: debug:Set debug level (1-9) (default 1) (int)
')

Each parameter can be added to /etc/modprobe.d/8188eu.conf (example):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'options 8188eu rtw_wmm_enable=1 debug=9')
