I am very new in RaspBerry and I am using RaspBian distribution. I am going crazy to install the wifi USB adapter. The used model is a TP-LINK TL-WN725N
I followed this tutorial: http://laurenthinoul.com/how-to-install ... pberry-pi/
To these are the operations that I performed:
1) Update kernel version:
sudo apt-get install rpi-update
After this I obtain that the kernel version is the 3.12.20+, infact:
pi@raspberrypi ~/wirelessDriver $ uname -r
3.12.20+
2) Then I have update my system by:
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo reboot
3) Then I downloaded and extract the driver by:
sudo wget -4 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80256631/8188eu-20140307.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf 8188eu-20140307.tar.gz
and now in the directory I only have the 8188eu.ko file (in addition to the archive from which it was extracted), infact:
pi@raspberrypi ~/wirelessDriver $ ls
8188eu-20140307.tar.gz 8188eu.ko
And then I have a first doubt: I skipped the following operation:
sudo cp rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi //not needed anymore if your operating system is above 3.10.33+
because my kernel version is above the 3.10.33+ but if I go into /lib/firmware/rtlwifi directory I have not the rtl8188eufw.bin file, infact this is the content of my /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
pi@raspberrypi /lib/firmware/rtlwifi $ ls
rtl8192cfw.bin rtl8192cfwU.bin rtl8192defw.bin rtl8712u.bin
rtl8192cfwU_B.bin rtl8192cufw.bin rtl8192sefw.bin
I don't know if this is normal or if it could be a problem.
4) Then I performed the insomod command and I obtain an error:
sudo insmod /lib/modules/3.12.20+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.12.20+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko: Invalid module format
Why it say to me Error: could not insert module /lib/modules/3.12.20+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko: Invalid module format ?
How can I solve this problem and correctly install my USB adapter driver? I am desperate...I googled but I can't found a solution
Tnx Andrea
