So after messing around with the kernel headers since they wouldn't install for some reason I was finally able to build the second git repo that you showed me. I might as well outline the steps here as people will probably want to do this in the future .

Steps for 3.9.8+ kernel (Xbian Beta 1.1):

Code:

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git
cd rtl8188eu
make
** wait for the module to compile **
sudo install -p -m 644 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe 8188eu

And that should be it, the device now shows up in iwconfig. Additional information is here if anyone needs to set up wpa. It seems to work for me fine through the GUI:

Hello,

thanks for the procedure. I was trying to compile the driver in other ways and I got stuck in the middle of the compiling process.
Finally now I have my compiled 8188eu.ko

But I have a HUGE problem now!! After I reboot my RPi, it seems to be dead! I only have the PWR led on constant red light, but nothing else. Xbian does not start anymore.
I re-formatted my SD card and reinstall everything. Everything is working, but after I load the new module the system get corrupted somehow. I even tried with your pre-compiled modeule (just to be sure) and I have the same behaviour.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thank you.
