progress today. working information, appears correct driver load r8192u_usb. module loaded, following sets id:

let's try that:

code:

sudo su  echo -n "050d 2103" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl819xu/new_id  exit

if follow along, see got stopped firmware. let's find , relocate yours:

code:

ls /lib/firmware/rtl8192u

do have 3 firmware files in there? if so, skip down 'load driver.' if not, let's find , copy some:

code:

sudo updatedb  locate 8192 | grep .img

updatedb take few moments, please patient. might find files in /lib/firmware/rtl8192e. let's copy them over:

code:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtl8192u  sudo cp /lib/firmware/rtl8192e/* /lib/firmware/rtl8192u

now load driver:

code:

sudo modprobe rtl8192u_usb  iwconfig

if there still no wlan0, let's see why:

code:

dmesg | grep 819

if works, write 2 quick files , make persistent.
