PRI 1 + WN821 dongle
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2022 5:05 am
Hello
I have managed to make a RPI 1 model B version 2 operate well with a TL-WN821N WI-FI USB dongle under PI-OS 32bit with desktop.
The driver is from here: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver & I followed the build instructions as per the readme file.
All work together fine.
So on a fresh SD I installed Pi-Star ver. 4.1.5 which loaded well on that RP1 and I managed to build and install the driver almost as before (see below) but now I can't get it to work. (It isn't even shown as present when connected ti the USB).
(FWIW because "MAKE" couldn't find the 5.10.63+ kernel drivers where they were supposed to be - /lib/modules ? - I created a soft link to the kernel-headers of 50.13.103 and managed to compile).
I am not fluent with Linux (to say the least) and apart from a nice feel of time well spent, I am stuck.
Any ideas on best nest move for me please?
TIA, Isaac 4Z1TL
