I searched for the driver of rtl8192cu.



I tried with official driver. This is not for my Linux installation kernel:



uname -r
3.8.0-35-generic


I tried with fixes in github.



I tried with ndiswrapper and selecting XP driver that comes with CD.



None of these worked.



But after doing:



sudo modprobe rtl8192cu


Adapter detected networks, but when I click it just does not connect.



I have 2 adapters, but just the other one, a D-Link, is detected:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0458:012b KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)


I installed these too:



sudo dkms status
8192cu, 1.8, 3.8.0-35-generic, x86_64: installed
ndiswrapper, 1.58, 3.8.0-35-generic, x86_64: installed


The 8192cu was installed from github link I pasted.



Update



After upgrading to 13.10:



➜  ~  sudo dkms status       
8192cu, 1.8, 3.11.0-15-generic, x86_64: installed
8192cu, 1.8, 3.8.0-35-generic, x86_64: installed
ndiswrapper, 1.58: added
➜ ~ uname -r
3.11.0-15-generic
➜ ~ sudo modprobe rtl8192cu


Again, networks detected, but no connection.

  • It is probably best if you either upgrade to version 14.04 LTS or 15.04, as 13.04 is EOL and it is easiest to troubleshoot if you have the latest version (LTS or normal) of Ubuntu.

I had many problems with this driver in 12.04, 12.10, 13.04 until I upgraded to 13.10.

Anyway, 13.04 is EOL.



If you want to keep using 13.04, you can use kernel backports.

    Anyways - it was all a pain in the *** until 14.x Then it stopped requiring manual driver installation.



    However - I seem to recall someone saying that the stock driver was almost but "still wrong" and required that manual install.
