Realtek Wireless Driver for Linux

Alternative Repository

This repository seems to contain approximately the same codebase with several different available versions. I would recommend using it as it's more actively maintained.

Supported chipsets

  • RTL8192C
  • RTL8192D
  • RTL8723A
  • RTL8188E
  • RTL8812A (AC1200)
  • RTL8821A (AC1200)
  • RTL8192E
  • RTL8723B

How to (general)

  1. Select your chipset and platform in Makefile. For example, change
...
CONFIG_RTL8821A = n
...

to

...
CONFIG_RTL8821A = y
...

and

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n

to

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y
  1. make
  2. If you have previously installed a wireless driver for your chipset, sudo modprobe -r [your_chipset_name] where [your_chipset_name] is 8821au for example.
  3. sudo make install
  4. sudo modprobe [your_chipset_name]
