Wireless USB adapter stopped working overnight?

[Nate Hofmann]

I have a Trendnet tew-6646usb v2.0 wireless usb adapter that is not picked up by ubuntu today even though it was yesterday. Help?

Does it start working if you just reload the driver?

sudo modprobe 8192du

Is there any error with modprobe?

[Nate Hofmann]

It says the Module 8192du is not found.

I suspect there was an updated kernel version. When this happens, you will need to re-compile for the newer kernel, also known as linux-image:

cd rtl8192du
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8192du

Is it working now?

Thank you, fixed it again!
