[SOLVED] RTL8192EU Driver

Hello,
I have install SalixOS on old HP T5700 ThinClient (Transmeta Crusoe i586). And it's work good. But i also need driver for rtl8192eu from
https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.
Driver compiles, but when i want to modprobe module it was an error in dmesg:
version magic '4.4.88-smp SMP mod_unload PENTIUMIII ' should be '4.4.88 mod_unload 586TSC '
How to compile driver correctly?

How did you compile the module? I was able to compile the module and install it without problems. I simply download the source from the link you provided, extracted the zip archive to a folder, then cd to the folder and as root did a " make && make install. After doing a modprobe 8192eu i get the following in dmesg:
[70846.133791] RTL871X: module init start
[70846.133797] RTL871X: rtl8192eu v4.4.1_17696.20160509_BTCOEX20160412-0042
[70846.133799] RTL871X: build time: Dec 17 2017 06:28:52
[70846.133800] RTL871X: rtl8192eu BT-Coex version = BTCOEX20160412-0042
[70846.133858] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192eu
[70846.133860] RTL871X: module init ret=0
Also please post the output of the following command:
Code: Select all
$ ls -l /var/log/packages/ | grep kernel

I used the same method, make && make install. But i identify a problem in kernel and kernel-source. I must use kernel-huge for i586, but kernel-source installing kernel with smp sufix.

Yes, you should install the kernel-source package that matches the running kernel, so in this case not the smp one.
EDIT. Actually there is only one source package, my mistake.
However I think that generally speaking i586 can cope with smp kernels. I am not sure about specifically the Crusoe emulation though. Maybe that's work trying? You could just try installing an smp kernel, without removing the non-smp one that you would keep as a backup, make entries or stanzas for both in /etc/lilo.conf, then run "lilo -t -v" and if all goes well "lilo".

You seem to have a mismatch of kernel-headers and kernel-source to the kernel that your are running, Please post the output of
Code: Select all
$ ls-l /var/log/packages | grep kernel

Isn't there only one kernel-source package that is applicable to all the different complied kernels of a given version?

Indeed, thanks for the correction Rich. Really, I shouldn't post after lunch

Problem solved.
I downloaded kernel source from
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ and unpacked archive into /usr/src. Then:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/src/linux-4.4.19
make mrproper
zcat /proc/config.gz> .config
make prepare
make scripts
And finally:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/src/rtl8192eu-linux-driver
make clean
make
make install
All done!

From this is look as though you are running the 4.4.88 kernel.

And now it looks like your building modules against the 4.4.19 kernel.

Somehow I don't think so.

I returned to kernel 4.4.19, which is default after install Salix OS.
