Scott Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Having a hard time getting RTL8188EU WiFi dongle to work on orange pi pc 2. I’ve spent weeks trying to figure this out reading on the internet and a few posts on this forum. Tried installing several WiFi drivers including a few drivers from GitHub. The drivers appear to install successfully but when entering command $lshw, the device still shows as *-usb UNCLAIMED. Any help would be appreciated.
Werner Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 armbianmonitor -u Armbian includes drivers for this chip: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/53e4bc2d38cfd8efaab4579341530f2c0e01bf85/lib/compilation-prepare.sh#L330 They should work just fine.
aht Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 I am actually having the same issue and am on the most recent Armbian for Rock Pi 4(A) I used the 'Armbian_21.02.1_Rockpi-4a_bionic_current_5.10.12_minimal' image. when I run 'ip a' in Ubuntu it sees the usb adapter, but in Armbian it doesn't even see it, which is kind of odd. I have the tp-link tl-wn725n, which uses RTL8188EUS. My keyboard works fine. Anyone have insight into this weird situation?

Expand Odd is that you are complaining on this support contract: https://github.com/armbian/build#support But the problem was fixed - you just need to wait until the next release or DIY https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/
cw73 Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 Hello, trying to get a USB-N10 Nano wireless adapter by Asus running with Cubieborad2 I came across this thread. The adapter also employs the Realtek kernel driver 8188eu. Is the issue supposed to fixed in recent edge builds? I have tried Armbian_21.08.0-trunk.7_Cubieboard2_hirsute_edge_5.11.16.img.xz, but the network stick does not work. I might have missed to install some required packages though. As a side note, the stick works as expected on the same board running Fedora 33 ARM. Regards, Christoph
cw73 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Since also the recent image "Armbian_21.05.1_Cubieboard2_buster_current_5.10.34.img.xz" gave me trouble with 8188eu driver, I built it myself from the Github sources[1]. This works nicely and upstream issues appear to be fixed. [1] https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
