USB WiFi Dongle Driver: I'm not able to build the RTL8192C USB module driver. I need a module (.ko) file that I can load into the kernel to support my WiFi USB device.


We made a .ko file for you. Please copy to /lib/modules/$(uname –r)/kernel/drivers 

root@smarct335x:~# depmod -a

root@smarct335x:~# modprobe 8192cu

[   47.485413] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

[   47.548124] rtl8192cu driver version=v4.0.2_9000.20130911

[   47.553872] build time: Apr 24 2014 15:21:03

[   47.558565] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192cu

root@smarct335x:~#

 

To build:

1.  Download the RTL8192CU source file from realtek website.

2.  Extract the tarball

3.  cd rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911/

4.  You need to modify the Makefile

Add CONFIG_PLATFORM_SMARCT335X =y

--- and

ifeq ($(CONFIG_PLATFORM_SMARCT335X), y)

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN

ARCH := arm

SUB_ARCH := arm

CROSS_COMPILE := /opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

KSRC ?= /home/eric/smarct335x-working/linux-smarc-t335x-v3.2/

KVER := 3.2.0

endif

 

5. $ export CC=/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

6. $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC}
