rtl8188eus v5.3.9

Realtek rtl8188eus & rtl8188eu & rtl8188etv WiFi drivers

This is a pure Realtek release, not from vendor but from all the Realtek multichip "bases" we've seen, this must be the newest, most stable and effective one. The performance and code quality has been improved.

Supports

• Android 7
• MESH Support
• Monitor mode
• Frame injection
• Up to kernel v5.3+ ... And a bunch of various wifi chipsets

Howto build/install

1. You will need to blacklist another driver in order to use this one.
2. "echo "blacklist r8188eu.ko" > "/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf"
3. "make && make install"
   
4. Reboot in order to blacklist and load the new driver/module.

MONITOR MODE howto

Use these steps to enter monitor mode.

$ sudo airmon-ng check-kill
$ sudo ip link set <interface> down
$ sudo iw dev <interface> set type monitor

Frame injection test may be performed with (after kernel v5.2 scanning is slow, run a scan or simply an airodump-ng first!)

$ aireplay -9 <interface>

NetworkManager configuration

Add these lines below to "NetworkManager.conf" and ADD YOUR ADAPTER MAC below [keyfile] This will make the Network-Manager ignore the device, and therefor don't cause problems.

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[connection]
wifi.powersave=0

[main]
plugins=keyfile

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:A7:A7:A7:A7:A7
