How to manually install your rtl8188ce driver step-by-step

[dan0804smith]

there is a video link of me preforming this action at the bottom of the page

hey i want to start off by saying that the only reason i am doing this guide is because the ubuntu community has been so helpful to me in the past.

time to give back

How to manually install your rtl8188ce driver :

this tutorial is meant for users using 10.10 and up (im using 10.10)

download the top linux driver from this site (Linux driver for kernel 2.6.24 (and later, up to 3.2.x))
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...true#RTL8188CE

extract this to your desktop

open terminal

type: sudo su
then: cd /path/to/file
then: make install

should look something like this:

daniel@daniel-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for daniel:
root@daniel-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:/home/daniel# cd /home/daniel/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011
root@daniel-HP-Pavilion-dv6-Notebook-PC:/home/daniel/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_linux_mac80211_0005.1230.2011# make install

this was my out put:

i hope this helps, let me know if it does.

stay strong my linux brethren

This worked great. Did not need to blacklist the default 8192ce driver for success.

Why exactly an outdated, non-listed driver works for a different chipset, who knows? But it works.

[Dyronne]

i tried it but every time i did it with either one of the driver downloads it comes to an message that said there was two errors, one being that "make : *** lib/modules/3.5.0-22-generic/build: No such file directory. Stop" and "make: *** [all] Error 2"

I was having the same trouble make sure that you have kernel headers installed (linux-headers-3.5.0-xx) with the 'xx' being whatever its asking for (in your case 22) hope i helped you out in some way

Oh and thanks so much dan, you really helped me through the lovely experiece of installing drivers ;P

[schworak]

YOU ROCK!

Thank you so very much for this post. The YouTube video is kind of worthless but the link in the description got me here and that got me back online with WiFi! Thank you so very very very much!

So I follow all of the directions and this is what I get after typing "make":

thank you

Hi,

you need a patched driver for kernel 3.11:

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver
cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver
make
sudo make install

This device/driver is known to cause problems. You may want to try these module parameters:

echo "options rtl8192ce swlps=0 ips=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf

Reboot and check:

dmesg | grep rtl8
lsmod
iwconfig
