TP-Link TL-WN725N version 2 with 3.8 Kernel

[kyle_l88]

Awesome! 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:
