Realtek Wifi_Wlan_Adopter (0bda:f179) not detected (Solved)

[veejay]

Hi, Wifi USB adopter not detected in Dpup stretch 7.5. The linux driver files given with Adopter in CD, but couldn't able to install. It seems it need to be compiled. Please can anyone help me by making driver for this Wifi USB adapter to install in Puppy Stretch 7.5. Thanking you.

Apparently this needs the rtl8188fu driver. Is compiled for the specific kernel used.
Driver for 32bit k4.1.48 here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=386 ... 3512533052
Boot puppy without adaptor plugged in. Install by clicking on .pet in Roxfiler file manager, wait a few seconds then plug in usb adaptor. Should work. Save when closing.

Build GCC: 7.3.0
PAE Enabled: Yes

I attempted with stretch-4.19.56 driver pet. If i am correct, as it was for 32 bit, it doesn't work. I attempted to modify bionic64 driver pet and failed. So please provide the driver pet for buster puppy linux.

It would be helpful if you could explain how edit the same pet for further any kernel version.

veejay, the above appears to be a 32bit pae kernel. I need to download the pup, devx & kernel sources, about 600mb. If those are available a driver can be made. Please run uname -r & post output so I can be sure if pae or non-pae.

Dear Ozsouth, thank you. Buster puppy is Pae enabled 32 bit (i686). Sorry for the mistake. And I created the pet for buster, using stretch32.pet. It's working fine.

Thanking you
