Trying to find a solution? See [troubleshooting](/docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).

| Support | Tested | Status | Description |
|-------------------|-----------|-----------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Android 7+ | ❌ | 🟡 | Depends on which kernel version is installed. |
| MESH | ❌ | 🟠 | Not tested yet. |
| Monitor Mode | ✅ | 🔵 | Tested and working. |
| Frame injection | ✅ | 🔵 | Tested and working. |
| 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

[reading the documentation](/docs/BUILDING.md) or by accessing the topics:
