Hi all,
I don't know if this stick's driver is in the process of being
incorporated into the Kernel drivers, I havn't seen so yet.
I've put the full lsusb -v at end of email as its a lot of stuff.
Please let me know if any other info is needed about it, I'm not a
programmer but I have reasonable intermediate Linux knowledge.
I have been commonly using this stick with my ARM based BeagleBone
Black board, others commonly use it with their ARM based Raspberry
PIs.
lsusb gives:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
I'm not sure when Realtek released this version of their WiFi chip,
Linux source code comes on the driver CD, but usually doesn't compile
as it seems to be for older systems.
I've found 2 DKMS deb files that work, as well as somone's modified
source code on Github.
Its still buggy and I don't think gives signal strength etc.
Here's a link to modified source code on Github that compiled for me
and worked when the DKMS debs didn't:
https://github.com/bhuvanchandra/rtl8192eu
Here's a link to the 2 deb DKMS packages, usually one compiles and
works (the one with -2 at end of file name), it didn't compile on
Debian 7.9 on my BeagleBone Black board the other night, the other
one did, though I couldn't get it to work with the wex driver using
wpa_supplicant, complained of ioctl "operation not permitted" etc.

Hopefully this can be properly incorporated and standardised with most
commonly used driver/extensions etc as I understand that Realtek
drivers don't conform properly with the Kernel wireless extensions.

Hi all,
The version of driver which I think came on my CD is
rtl8192EU_linux_v4.2.2_7585.20130524
Here's a page which may have the original code:
https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7
Here's another Github repository that claims to be more regularly
updated and links to a D-Link version of the driver (using same
Realtek chip):
