The changes to files in /etc should survive upgrades, but the driver itself may not survive all kernel upgrades and the "install" step may need to be repeated. I recommend keeping the "zip" file from Realtek around in case you need it again. The driver released on the website only supports the following. Reboot and test the networking again to confirm that your changes 'stick'. After these steps, the networking should work. You can immediately test the new driver by manually unloading the old driver and manually loading the new driver. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose.

I used a second computer for this and saved it to a USB drive, and then transferred it over the SneakerNet to the troubled computer.Īfter unpacking the 'zip' file, enter the directory it creates in the terminal and run sudo bash install.shĭisable the built-in driver by editing /etc/modprobe.d/nf and adding a line like blacklist rtl8192cu (The name you use should match output from lshw -c network You should get a zip file to download it. For me, I used lshw -c network to see that I had RTL8192cu, so I searched for that, which led me here Search on the Realtek site for your hardware. The summary is the built-in driver didn't work work completely, and I downloaded installed the manufacturer's driver instead, making sure the new driver was set to start on boot while the built-in driver was blacklisted. I had the same problem and here's how I solved it. For Windows 10 the WiFi adapter is plug & play, no need to install any Realtek software as Windows 10 finds the correct drivers and installs them automatically.
