lwfinger / rtl8xxxu Goto Github PK

Hi,

Today I just noticed that this wifi dongle has a led actually and it blinks on Windows, but not on Linux.
It would be great if this issue is fixed, thanks a lot!

Wifi dongle: ASUS USB-N13 C1 (RTL8192FU)

          It's just strange that rtl8xxxu doesn't require rtw88 on other distributions

According to readme

That's works real nice on PCLinuxOS with kernels 5.15... and 6.3.5
and so you become a new bigger
THANK YOU !

I downloaded it and tried the command given by readme, but it failed and told me:
Kernal configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/generated/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernal src to fix it.
I tried to run the command it gives me and faild again.

I've executed all installation steps without getting any error on Debian 11, how do i check if it works?

I'm kind a newbie on this.
