ASUS Wireless-N300 USB-N13(C) doesn't work (Solved)

[markhm]

I just bought a brand new ASUS Wireless USB-N13(C) from a major vendor and it wont work in Linux Mint 19.3 or 20.2
I tried it in several different computers running those different versions of Mint and it wouldn't run in any of them.
ASUS misrepresents the item stating on the packaging that it works in Linux.

ASUS provides an installation CD with drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux. The driver for Linux comes with a windows installer!
Manually installing ASUS's driver in Linux fails with errors.
A call to ASUS technical support results in them sending you a link to an on-line drivers package that is the same as that supplied on the CD.
Further discussions with ASUS result in them saying that techincal support has looked into the situation and the product works in Linux and that my unit is probably defective.

I have installed the unit on a Windows computer and it runs without issue but I cannot get it to work on a Linux computer.
The unit is recognized on the Linux boot logs.
When I run Driver Manager, it says all necessary drivers are loaded.
When I look at Network Manager, there are no wireless networks.

Searching the internet, it seems no one is getting this product to work in Linux and ASUS is being negligent in selling it for Linux.
This is probably the #1 resource for Linux Mint assistance, so I am posting to see if anyone has been able to get this product to successfully run in Linux Mint?

[Larry78723]

Your adapter uses the RealTek RTL8192FU chip. Here's how to install the driver:

Run one line at a time in a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential git dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)

git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8192fu-dkms

sudo dkms add ./rtl8192fu-dkms

sudo dkms build rtl8192fu/5.8.6.2

sudo dkms install rtl8192fu/5.8.6.2

[markhm]

I had previously tried what you suggested without success, I had also restarted computer and retested.

i purged previous attempt and cut and pasted your instructions again to test one more time. The usb adapted is still not working.

Any further ideas?

[sleeper12]

Any better luck with this one?:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install rtl8192fu-dkms 

Reboot

[markhm]

Tried the ppa method. Also tried installing that driver thru the Software Manager. Re-booted and neither works.
Driver Manager does show that driver in use after either of the above but the adapter is still dead.

Could it be that there is a still newer driver than the rtl8192fu-DKMS that it needs?

Try installation with the following commands. This is based of different repository, but added your wifi device ID. https://github.com/BrightX/rtl8192fu

First remove installed driver with following commands.

Code: Select all

sudo apt purge rtl8192fu-dkms
sudo rm -f /lib/modules/5.4.0-91-generic/updates/8192fu.ko
sudo depmod -a
sudo rm -rf /usr/src/rtl8192fu-5.8.6.2/

Then install driver with following commands.

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8192fu-2
sudo dkms add rtl8192fu-2
sudo dkms install rtl8192fu/5.8.6.2

Then reboot.

Thanks !!!

Works perfectly now. I followed your last instructions on 2 different computers running 2 different versions of Mint and the adapter works correctly on both.

All the frustrated buyers of this ASUS adapter can now find joy!

Thanks again for all your effort,
Mark

[kelebek333]

Good news. I will update rtl8192fu-dkms package on PPA and rtl8192fu-dkms repository on github from BrightX's source. So you can easily install the driver from PPA for another installation of Linux Mint.
