Drivers

This modified version of the RealTek WiFi driver fixes some issues with RealTek cards on Linux. Why use this driver? It has been modified to allow you to transmit at up to 33 dBm instead of the stock driver hard limit of 20 dBm, regardless of your CRDA regulatory domain.

  1. This is a fork of the Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au) v4.2.2 (757) driver altered to build on Linux kernel version = 3.10. My D-Link DWA-171 wireless dual-band USB adapter needs the Realtek 8812au driver to work under Linux.
  2. Realtek driver for RTL8188SU and Windows 7 32bit. A complete list of available wireless device drivers for Realtek RTL8188SU.On this page, you will find all available drivers listed by release date for the Windows 7 32bit operating system.

r8712u, r8192ee, r8188eu, r8723au, rtl8192ce, rtl8192cu, rtl8192de, rtl8188ee, rtl8192e, rtl8192se, rtl8192u, rtl8723ae, rtl8723be and rtl8821ae are drivers for Realtek 802.11n wireless LAN chips, included in the mainline Linux kernel.

Troubleshooting

rtl8192ce

Devices supported by this driver may suffer from intermittent connection loss. If so, it can be made more reliable by disabling power management via module options ips and fwlps. These can be supplied by creating a new file:

/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf
