Cant connect to WiFi router!

Post by bartveurink » 2015/03/31 14:19:55

CentOS dont recognize RTL8192CU driver for USB Dongle. Manually install with the included CD dont work.
lsmod shows no WiFi driver. lsusb does list the device. How to install the driver?

Go to elrepo and read the faq on how to find the driver if it exists.

I did find the right driver on ELRepo. It is kmod-r8192cu
But how to download without internet connection? I must download with Ubuntu or Debian, because they have an internet connection.

I did download the rpm file using the mirror from the site.

Code: Select all

sudo rpm file
modprobe 8192cu
Setting up WPA in the network manager. It all works well.
