Driver not used after installation

Open EinderJam opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I'm trying to use this driver on Kali linux 2019.3 : Linux kali 5.2.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.2.9-2kali1 (2019-08-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux with a TP-Link TL-WN725N V2 (RTL8188EUS).

I added EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types to MakeFile because I use gcc 8.3.0, and applied these modifications to make the driver build for 5.2.0 .

dkms install 8188eu/1.0 goes fine :

`dkms install 8188eu/1.0

8188eu.ko: Running module version sanity check.

  • Original module
    • Found /lib/modules/5.2.0-kali2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless//8188eu.ko
    • Storing in /var/lib/dkms/8188eu/original_module/5.2.0-kali2-amd64/x86_64/
    • Archiving for uninstallation purposes
  • Installation
    • Installing to /lib/modules/5.2.0-kali2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless//

depmod...

DKMS: install completed.`

However, after that I cannot enter in monitor mode ; iw dev wlan0 set type monitor fails with command failed: No such device (-19) And even if lsmod shows the 8188eu module as loaded, lsusb-t says the r8188eu driver is currently used for the wifi adapter : `lsusb -t
