A while back the laptop i’m using was placed in a chair with the Wifi USB dongle still in it. It was a dongle of about 5 cm so the dongle was bend. It still makes contact, but wasn’t really reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today i bought a new mini digle. It sticks out for about one cm, so the change it will be broken is a bit smaller then the original. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately the driver isn’t included in the kernel. Long live google! I came across a post<\/a> that linked to another page<\/a> with the solution that worked for me. To make sure the solution can still be found i post the steps here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/cilynx\/rtl88x2bu.git\ncd rtl88x2bu\nVER=$(sed -n 's\/\\PACKAGE_VERSION=\"\\(.*\\)\"\/\\1\/p' dkms.conf)\nsudo rsync -rvhP .\/ \/usr\/src\/rtl88x2bu-${VER}\nsudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}\nsudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}\nsudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}\nsudo modprobe 88x2bu<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
