The wireless network card on the book was so miserable that I went on strike more than a month ago. There was something wrong with the network card.

Yesterday in the Pearl River Road hand bought a D-link DWA-131 wireless network card to take over, found in Ubuntu driver compilation is quite difficult

After Google finally solves various errors encountered during compilation, record them

Step 1

Go to the official website to download the latest Linux driver package RealTek
8192su

Step 2

Else"

Decompress the file again, which is the driver file to be compiled. For example, all files are decompressed ~ /Dwa_driver

Step 3

Open the terminal and enter:

Cd ~ /Dwa_driver/include
Nano osdep_service.h

Add a row and modify it as follows. The red part is the added content:

# Ifndef _ osdep_service_h _
# DEFINE _ osdep_service_h _
# Include <drv_conf.h>
# Include <basic_types.h>
# Include <Linux/sched. h>
// # Include <rtl871x_byteorder.h>
......

Then press Ctrl + X to exit and select y to save

Step 4

Return to the upper-level directory, that is, "~ /Dwa_driver"

CD ..

Nano makefile

Modify the text as follows. The red part is the added content.

Extra_cflags + =-O1-wno-unused-variable-wno-unused-value-wno-unused-label-W $
Extra_cflags + =-I $ (SRC)/include-wno-unused-Function

Config_built_in = N

Export topdir: = $ (PWD)
Nullstring: =

Ifeq ($ (config_built_in), Y)
Include $ (SRC)/config
Else
Ifeq ($ (topdir), $ (nullstring ))
Include config
Else
Include $ (topdir)/config
Endif
Endif

Ifeq ($ (config_rtl8711), Y)

Save the modification and exit.

Step 5

Compile and install

Make clean
Make
Sudo make install
Sudo modprobe 8712u
Echo "8712u" | sudo tee-A/etc/modules

Then, directly in the network manager, you will find that you can find the nearby Wi-Fi hotspot that is running properly :)

Note: each time the kernel is updated, it must be re-compiled and installed before it can be properly enabled. In addition, the kernel of 2.6.35-28-generic cannot be used after kernel is updated, and the kernel of previous versions can work normally.
