Realtek RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188DE, RTL8188SU, RTL8191SE, RTL8191SU, RTL8192CE, RTL8192CU, RTL8192DE, RTL8192E, RTL8192SE, RTL8192SU, RTL8192U devices
This page describes how to enable support for WiFi devices based on Realtek 802.11n chipsets on Debian systems.
Drivers
r8712u, rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu, rtl8192de, rtl8192e, rtl8192se, rtl8192su and rtl8192u are drivers for Realtek 802.11n wireless LAN chipsets, included in the mainline Linux kernel.
The produced kernel modules are:
r8192_pci (supported devices)
r8192s_usb (supported devices)
r8192u_usb (supported devices)
r8712u (supported devices)
- Supports USB devices based on the RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU and RTL8192SU chipsets.
Introduced in Linux 2.6.37,6 enabled at linux-2.6 2.6.37-1~experimental.1.
rtl8192ce (supported devices)
rtl8192cu (supported devices)
- Supports USB devices based on the RTL8188CUS and RTL8192CU chipsets.
Introduced in Linux 2.6.39, enabled at linux-2.6 2.6.39~rc7-1~experimental.1.
rtl8192se (supported devices)
- Supports PCI-E devices based on the RTL8191SE and RTL8192SE chipsets.
Introduced in Linux 3.0, enabled at linux-2.6 3.0.0~rc1-1~experimental.1.
rtl8192de (supported devices)
- Supports PCI-E devices based on the RTL8188DE and RTL8192DE chipsets.
Introduced in Linux 3.1, enabled at linux-2.6 3.1.0~rc4-1~experimental.1.
Non-free firmware is required for all drivers, which can be provided by installing the firmware-realtek package. Firmware must be installed prior to device operation. RTL8192U firmware is currently not packaged (588142).
r8712u, rtl8192e, rtl8192su and rtl8192u are staging drivers and only available for the x86 and x86-64 architectures (Debian i386 and AMD64 ports respectively) at this time.
Realtek 802.11b/g devices are supported by different drivers.
Installation
Squeeze
This release supports Realtek RTL8188SU, RTL8191SU, RTL8192E, RTL8192SU and RTL8192U-based devices.
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:
# Debian Squeeze/6.0 deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
Update the list of available packages and install the firmware-realtek and wireless-tools packages:
# aptitude update # aptitude install firmware-realtek wireless-tools
Firmware is required to be supplied for RTL8192U-based devices:
# aptitude install unzip && exit $ wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa130_revC/Drivers/dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ unzip dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ su # mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U # cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U
- If not already performed, connect the device to your system.
The necessary kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices. Verify your device has an available interface:
# iwconfig
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
Wheezy
The testing distribution currently supports Realtek RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188DE, RTL8188SU, RTL8191SE, RTL8191SU, RTL8192CE, RTL8192CU, RTL8192DE, RTL8192E, RTL8192SE, RTL8192SU and RTL8192U-based devices.
Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list, for example:
# Debian Wheezy (testing) deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
Update the list of available packages and install the firmware-realtek and wireless-tools packages:
# aptitude update # aptitude install firmware-realtek wireless-tools
Firmware is required to be supplied for RTL8192U-based devices:
# aptitude install unzip && exit $ wget ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Wireless/dwa130_revC/Drivers/dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ unzip dwa130_revC_drivers_linux_006.zip $ su # mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U # cp rtl8192u_linux_2.6.0006.1031.2008/firmware/RTL8192U/* /usr/local/lib/firmware/RTL8192U
- If not already performed, connect the device to your system.
The necessary kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices. Verify your device has an available interface:
# iwconfig
Configure your wireless interface as appropriate.
