Help installation driver for wifi usb TL-WN725N
Hello everyone,
I am using Centos now for months and I never had no issue. So I buy a new computer without possibility to connect wired and have no wifi card. So I buyed an wifi usb and the driver are availble for Windows / Mac and Linux but:
- the .zip file that you can dowload, you can only acces the pdf file that explain the installation but not possible to extract the rest in the folder so folder (driver)
you can check the download file: http://nl.tp-link.com/download/TL-WN725N.html#Driver
So after some research i tried via git to install the driver, I did follow:
sudo yum install git-all.noarch and then
cd rtl8188eu
make all # receive at this line an error:
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64/build or /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.13.1.el7.x86_64/source.
So I search but find nothing helpfull on internet, does someone now what I can try to do?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Oswin

Run lsusb and take your device's vendor id and device id to the ELRepo web page and see if they already have a kmod driver for it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Hello TrevorH,
Thanks for your reply.
lsusb give me this as results:
So I search on ELRepo/package/id with my id 0bda:8179 and find this: https://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs
8188eu.ko
usb 0BDA:8179 kmod-8188eu => should be for my wifi usb?
So is follow the starting guide to connect ELRepo repisitory = everything works fine https://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php!
But when i type:
=> I receive error No package kmod-8188eu available.
I try the example asked on the start page:
For example, to install kmod-r8168 (Realtek r8168 NIC driver):
=> but i changed the code to yum search kmod-r8168 and I found it (so I am connected to the ELRepo repisitory).
I tried:
= but same error No package available
how I can install the driver kmod-8188eu? And do I do something wrong?
Thanks.

Re: Help installation driver for wifi usb TL-WN725N
I don't see kmod-8188eu available for CentOS 7 though it is there for CentOS 6. Perhaps worth raising a bug report on the elrepo ticketing system and see if they can build it for el7.

I know this is a late reply, but this would help someone who is in trouble. The below worked for me:
Code: Select all
sudo yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-8188eu
Re: Help installation driver for wifi usb TL-WN725N
Did not work for me, i got this:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Error getting repository data for elrepo, repository not found

Re: Help installation driver for wifi usb TL-WN725N
You have to install the ELRepo yum repository first. There's a link to the elrepo website in the 3rd post of this thread and tells you how to.
