@ David Sorry to bother you, but I need help on how to build the driver, as the instructions in the site seem to be out-of-date.
Found my way with following steps: remove dkms-rtl8192eu package download as above unpack cd into unpacked folder make make install blacklist rtl8xxxu reboot Then the stick works perfectly OK.
is it still valid on mageia 7 ?

@Nicolas Yes, it is valid for Mageia 7. In fact, I never got thhis far with Mageia 6. And unfortunately, I don't have the stick available anymore to test it on Mageia 8

i just pushed a new rpm in mageia 7 updates_testing repo. Can you test when available ?
OK, that will be somewhere half september I guess.
I doubt this update was needed, as we already fixed this package in Bug 27097. Also, the date in the updated package version is wrong, it says 0823 when the last commit was on 0818. Anyway, there is one additional upstream commit here since our last update, so it won't hurt to push it if it works. Updated package is: dkms-rtl8192eu-4.4.1-1.20200823.2.mga7

Pascal said on IRC: <pterjan> hmm and their commit to make it build for 5.8 looks wrong :( https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver/commit/f0a1b3041905db3452567f38560d3e9150cc9094 <pterjan> I'll try to send them a fix later today if I have time So maybe another fix coming before we try to push this.

the date was the date where the package has been done. ( git checkout ).
(In reply to Nicolas Lécureuil from comment #9) > the date was the date where the package has been done. ( git checkout ). I know, but that's not the correct date to use.

I can't currently check for updates to this driver for the hardware I reported errors from, I don't have it available now equal. When installed at the appropriate workstation, I will review its operation and comment here. Thank you very much, greetings!!

Tested on MGA8. First run all updates on it (includes kernel 5.9.1) , reboot, check presence of dkms-rtl8192eu package, insert D-Link N300 Nano USB Adapter. No joy, connection to wifi fails.Continuing .....
Boot with device plugged in, makes no difference. Searched journalct -b | grep rtl8192 (or -b -1 for that matter) and find rtl8192_parse_efuse: dumping efuse rtl8xxxu: Loading firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_nic.bin In MCC - hardware I see driver used rtl8xxx, and that does not work with this device. It should refer to rtl8192 driver.
