Realtek RTL8180, RTL8185, RTL8187, RTL8187B, RTL8187SE devices
This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Realtek 802.11a/bg chips on Debian systems.
Contents
Drivers
rtl8180 and rtl8187 are drivers for Realtek 802.11b and 802.11a/bg wireless LAN chips, included in the Linux kernel.
The produced kernel modules are:
rtl818x_pci (supported devices)
- Supports PCI devices based on the RTL8180, RTL8185 and RTL8187SE chips.
rtl8187 (supported devices)
- Supports USB devices based on the RTL8187 and RTL8187B chips.
For all drivers, no firmware from userspace is required for device operation.
Realtek 802.11n/802.11ac devices are supported by different drivers.
Installation
Connect the device to your system. The necessary kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices.
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
