Hi,
I'm trying to install driver for my wifi dongle that is equipped with rtl8812bu chip.
I have been searching over the net for a few days, but have been unable to successfully install the driver.
What I tried:
I'm using latest availabel Armbian_5.75_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.174_desktop.img
After first boot, I did apt-get update and upgrade.
Then in armbian-config, I installed "Headers, Source and Full firmware package".
then extracted
linux-source-4.4.174-rockchip64.tar.xz and
linux-rockchip64-default_4.4.174_5.75_config.xz
in /usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.174-rockchip64 directory.
After that applied the workaround found here.
"make scripts" works after without any error after above steps.
now the driver.
The dongle comes with a cd with the linux driver in it.
The drivers compiles fine, but at the last step I get
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error
I can provide full output if required.
Next. I tried this driver: https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2BU_WiFi_linux_v5.3.1_27678.20180430_COEX20180427-5959
I found this comment on this forum that says he was able to install the driver in rockpro64
although I followed basically same procedure (except building armbian myself),
The installation was not successfull.
I got
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '88x2bu': Exec format error
when I executed the last command
"modprobe 88x2bu"
This is what I found in dmesg
[31040.865892] 88x2bu: version magic '4.4.173-rockchip64 SMP mod_unload aarch64' should be '4.4.174-rockchip64 SMP mod_unload aarch64'
all previous command succeeded without any error.
So can anyone please help?
Let me know if I should provide any other log or anything.
Thanks in advance.
Update: Did
modprobe --force 88x2b
now if I insert the device, I get :
