Hi. I want to install RTL8188fu on this orange pi pc but I have no luck.

 

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188FTV 802.11b/g/n 1T1R 2.4G WLAN Adapter

 

I'm using this repository https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu , but....: 

 

orangepipc:~:# sudo dkms install ./rtl8188fu
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl8188fu/1.0/source -> /usr/src/rtl8188fu-1.0
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 5.15.93-sunxi cannot be found.
Please install the linux-headers-5.15.93-sunxi package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

 

 sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-5.15.93-sunxi
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'linux-headers-5.15.93-sunxi'

 

Thanks in advance. :)

Package linux-headers-current-sunxi is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'linux-headers-current-sunxi' has no installation candidate

 

I also tried to install the kernel headers from armbian-config but nothing is happening. I installed armbian today, latest jammy version for this board.

Hm did you run apt update beforehand?

Download works for me

 

apt-get download linux-headers-current-sunxi
Get:1 http://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt buster/main armhf linux-headers-current-sunxi armhf 23.02.2 [12.0 MB]
Fetched 12.0 MB in 4s (3,045 kB/s)

Thank you very much. Everything works now. :)

 

I forgot about the update....I did the first time when I installed the latest version but after reinstalling it again to have fresh software, I forgot.
