rtl8192cu

This is a repackaging of Realtek's own 8192CU USB WiFi driver.

This driver replaces the knowing problems with apple devices on the mainline driver in the kernel.

Compatibility

These devices are known to work with this driver:

  • ASUSTek USB-N13 rev. B1 (0b05:17ab)

  • Belkin N300 (050d:2103)

  • D-Link DWA-121 802.11n Wireless N 150 Pico Adapter [RTL8188CUS]

  • Edimax EW-7811Un (7392:7811)

  • Kootek KT-RPWF (0bda:8176)

  • OurLink 150M 802.11n (0bda:8176)

  • Plugable USB 2.0 Wireless N 802.11n (0bda:8176)

  • TP-Link TL-WN725N (0bda:8176)

  • TP-Link TL-WN821Nv4 (0bda:8178)

  • TP-Link TL-WN822N (0bda:8178)

  • TP-Link TL-WN823N (only models that use the rtl8192cu chip)

  • TRENDnet TEW-648UBM N150

These devices are known not to be supported:

  • Alfa AWUS036NHR

  • TP-Link WN8200ND

As a rule of thumb, this driver generally works with devices that use the RTL8192CU chipset, and some devices that use the RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU and RTL8188RU chipsets too, though it's more hit and miss.

Devices that use dual antennas are known not to work well. This appears to be an issue in the upstream Realtek driver.
