I need a driver for rtl8188eus

English Hardware

Is there a driver for this realtek chip?

Output of inxi -n

  Device-2: Realtek RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter
    driver: rtl8xxxu type: USB
  IF: wlp0s20u8 state: up mac: 50:3e:aa:61:c6:07

@Sauerland I found some topics where you recommend drivers from your home hardware repo. Does any of the drivers there support this chip?

Post the ID.

Maybe in
lsusb for USB
or
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net for internal Hardware.

lsusb output:

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

It is in the kernel, here on Leap:

modprobeid 0bda:8179
Kernelmodulname rtl8xxxu
filename:       /lib/modules/6.4.0-150600.23.38-default/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.ko.zst

It is but I experience lower speeds than on windows for example with the same device.

Or this one. it builds for Tumbleweed with a few warnings:
https://software.opensuse.org/package/rtl8188eu

You have to install all 3 packages from my Repo.

If secure boot is enabled, think of restart and adding the key on restart in the mok database.

Secure boot is disabled, but wifi is not recognized after reboot. I have installed all 3 packages. I think I will stick with default one.
