Asus AC53 Nano wi-fi dongle not recognized, 18.04 LTS

**badge22** · July 5th, 2018

Hello,
After a fresh install of 18.04 LTS my USB wi-fi dongle no longer works. When using 16.04 LTS I was able to use the rtl8822bu driver, but it doesn't seem to work with the new install.
I get the following error messages when I try the make command in my rtl8822bu-master folder.

Code:

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.15.0-23-generic/build M=/home/badge/Desktop/rtl8822bu-master modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-23-generic'

I ran the wireless script and the results are here

Also, I have this PC set up as dual boot now if this makes any difference

Thank you,
Chris

Is it this one (updated!)?

**badge22** · July 10th, 2018

I had not tried that version yet. Unfortunately it isn't working either. I didn't get any errors during the make or make install step, but after a reboot the wifi dongle still isn't showing up.

I ran the wireless script again after reboot.

That driver doesn't cover your 184C device, but this one does: https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8822bu

Please try again. If you need a step-by-step, please post back and we'll be happy to help.

Unfortunately I got this error on the make step using the driver from jeremyb31.

Code:

The steps I have been following are download zip, extract, open terminal in extracted folder then run the following commands

Code:

sudo make

sudo make install

sudo reboot

I have tried using make clean as well before running these steps, but no luck yet.
Thank you for your help.

Please try this:

Code:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/FomalhautWeisszwerg/rtl8822bu.git
cd rtl8822bu
nano os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c

Change this section at about line 222, from this:

Code:

#ifdef CONFIG_RTL8822B
	/*=== Realtek demoboard ===*/
	{USB_DEVICE(0x0B05, 0x1812), .driver_info = RTL8812}, /* ASUS - Edimax */
	{USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xB822), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Edimax - EW-7822ULC */
	{USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xC822), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Edimax - EW-7822UTC */
	{USB_DEVICE(0x13B1, 0x0043), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Linksys - WUSB6400M */
	{USB_DEVICE(0x0BDA, 0xB812), .driver_info = RTL8822B},
	{USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xB82C, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Default ID */
#endif /* CONFIG_RTL8822B */

To this:

Code:

#ifdef CONFIG_RTL8822B
        /*=== Realtek demoboard ===*/
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0B05, 0x1812), .driver_info = RTL8812}, /* ASUS - Edimax */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xB822), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Edimax - EW-7822ULC */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x7392, 0xC822), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Edimax - EW-7822UTC */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x13B1, 0x0043), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Linksys - WUSB6400M */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0B05, 0x184C), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* ASUS USB AC53 */
        {USB_DEVICE(0x0BDA, 0xB812), .driver_info = RTL8822B},
        {USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_VENDER_ID_REALTEK, 0xB82C, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8822B}, /* Default ID */
#endif /* CONFIG_RTL8822B */

I have highlighted the line you will add.

Spacing, indentation, etc. are crucial and must be perfect. Proofread carefully twice. Save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and exit (Ctrl+x) the text editor.

Now back to the terminal:

Code:

make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8822bu

Any improvement?

Success! I followed your steps and rebooted.

The Asus AC53 wifi dongle was recognized and has worked flawlessly for an hour so far on 18.04 LTS.

Thank you so much!

Awesome! Glad it's working!

After a kernel update, recompile:

Code:

cd ~/rtl8822bu
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8822bu

Have fun!

Thanks so much, this solution worked for me as well!

ian@ian-23-k300xt:~/rtl8822bu$ sudo modprobe 8822bu
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8822bu': Required key not available

Ubuntu 18.04

Any ideas?
Thanks
