[SOLVED] RTL8188EUS not detected on laptop

#1 Post by kerryhall »

I'm trying to get a RTL8188EUS working on a laptop.

This usb wifi card shows up via "lsusb" on two other systems, but not on this laptop.

All systems are running Debian 10.

Does lsusb work if the drivers aren't installed?

Take my advice, I'm not using it.

This was it, thank you! I think the two other machines I tested it on already had this package installed.
