This is the original realtek driver - ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DWA-131/REV_E/Drivers/DWA-131_Linux_driver_v4.3.1.1.zip I think the one you downloaded is a modified version, possibly already compiled. Look under install_folder/driver/rtl8192EU_linux_v4.2.2_7585.20130524/ for a file named 8192eu.ko That's the driver. You can try loading it using modprobe but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. These days the kernel won't accept a driver that hasn't been compiled against the same version kernel as the one you are running. Could you post the link of where you got the driver from? If I get time tomorrow I'll try compiling and using it. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
