|   Kernel 5.8+     |   ✅      |   🟢      |   Kernel 5.15+ tested.                            |

Building

--------

The quickest compile can presume:

```shell

git clone --depth 1 https://gitlab.com/SimplyCEO/rtl8188eus.git

cd rtl8188eus/

make -j$(nproc)

su -c "make install clean"

su -c "modprobe --remove rtl8xxxu && modprobe 8188eu"

```

The old driver will be kept, but it need to be deactivated.


Verify if your kernel is equal or newer than '6.3.x'.


If it is, then the driver is called `rtl8xxxu`. Otherwise it is `r8188eu`.

All the instructions and explanations can be found by
