WiFI (rtl8169 to rtl8188eu)

[Sebastian Cherek]

Hello.
I figured out that my android 5.0.2 uses rtl8169 while my adapter needs rtl8188eu.
What do I do?
I've got rtl8188eu package that I'm using on linux.

R8169 is an ethernet driver.

Ethernet also is not working and I've got asrock g31m-vs2.

Overall the idea is to change driver that is used to rtl8188eu.
That problem keeps me away from using great android-x86

This is currently a staging driver, but it's being built on most recent testing builds (required firmware "rtl8188eufw" is also included)

Take a look at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/android-x86/latest%7Csort:date/android-x86/BgrFoOb3joM/8y1b6f9NDlAJ

Note: If the driver is not loading automatically, try loading it manually. Switch to console ( ALT + F1 ) and type:

busybox modprobe r8188eu

That is the motherboard model, but the motherboard is running an Ethernet chip
Realtek PCIEx1 LAN 8103EL / 8102EL
You can get the driver from realtek and build it with your kernel source.
If 8169 is loading, it will probably handle your card assuming you have the firmware for it.
Try installing android as r/w, then put the firmware file in /lib/firmware (or the proper location for android firmwares) and reload the r8169 modules.
Paste dmesg output here so I can take a look at the ethernet loading.
