Ubuntu 12.04.5安装TL-WN725N 2.0无线网卡驱动

实验室有线网络用不了。新配的台式机昨天刚到手。为了让该台式机能用上实验室的无线网络，只好新买了个TP-LINK无线USB网卡。按自带的说明书和提供的网卡，Win7下很简单。但我还装了Ubuntu，考虑不周，该网卡居然没提供Linux驱动。各种Google后终于找到解决方案，希望为后来人提供一点线索，少走弯路。

系统环境：Ubuntu 12.04.5 64位

系统内核：Linux kernel 3.13.0-32-generic

确认无线网卡型号：TL-WN725N 2.0。这商品包装上的图片型号和实物不太一样，估计驱动也就大同小异！

驱动安装步骤：

1) 查看硬件型号。开始在 http://wiki.ubuntu.org.cn/UbuntuHelp:WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx 看了，不太明白它分的2类似乎与我的型号都无关。因为我的无线网卡是USB插口，可以通过如下方式查看我的无线网卡型号：

通过这些型号我依然不知道需要下载什么驱动。Google了一下，这问题很多，本质是 realtek 8188eu 无线驱动在 linux kernel 3.x 中的安装问题.根据硬件id为 0bda:8179 Google知该芯片组是适合Probable Linux driver 8188eu，于是问题就简单了。

2) 到https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu下载rtl8188eu的源码（rtl8188eu-master.zip）。解压，编译：

$ make all

$ sudo make install

提示安装成功。

重启一下，发现右上角扇形的wifi网络出来了，只需选择对应的无线网络账号，输入密码，就可以上网了。

3) 步骤2)可能会提示缺少dkm包，如果提示，就先安装一个。因为目前电脑没网络，到http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/dkms/download去下载一个dkm安装包（dkms_2.1.1.2-2fakesync1_all.deb），拷贝到该电脑上，并安装：

~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.1.1.2-2fakesync1_all.deb

曾按网友提示，做过如下尝试，均失败：

方法一：

在Realtek官网下载 r8168-8.039.00.tar.bz2，它详细信息：http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2

解压，用 root 运行 install.sh 即可。但对我不成功。错误如下：

可能原因：Linux内核版本不一样，该包不支持我的版本。

方法三：

下载这个https://github.com/Red54/linux-shumeipai2/tree/sunxi-3.0/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8188eu据说支持3.x内核的版本，编译，报错：

/var/lib/dkms/rtl8188eu/0+git20130406/build/include/osdep_service.h: In function ‘thread_enter’:

/var/lib/dkms/rtl8188eu/0+git20130406/build/include/osdep_service.h:1397:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘daemonize’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

开始Google了一会，无解，就没继续探索这个问题。

但是，后来无意中看到博文：http://yafeilee.me/blogs/51c1ad4015638855d1000002提及上面这个问题的关键, 说这个版本的8188eu 在 3.5.x 内核以下版本都没有问题, 3.5.x 以上就出问题了。解决方法很简单，说是删掉它就可以了:

  diff --git a/include/osdep_service.h b/include/osdep_service.h   index ed2dae5..e9acb0d 100755   --- a/include/osdep_service.h   +++ b/include/osdep_service.h   @@ -1403,7 +1403,7 @@ static __inline void thread_enter(char *name);   static __inline void thread_enter(char *name)   {   #ifdef PLATFORM_LINUX   -       daemonize("%s", name);   +       //daemonize("%s", name);           allow_signal(SIGTERM);   #endif   #ifdef PLATFORM_FREEBSD

删除后再编译安装则可。估计我前面成功了的那个版本，就是这里被高手修改以后的版本吧～～

最后：

这里是 3.13 内核的解决方法，其它内核的话估计有不同的错误信息，最好去找找有没有兼容新内核的驱动，如果还是没有，就只能自己动手去改代码了。
