Description

Hello

i tried this.

uname -a sudo apt purge firmware-realtek sudo wget http://downloads.fars-robotics.net/wifi-drivers/8188eu-drivers/8188eu-5.4.79-1373.tar.gz sudo tar xzf 8188eu-5.4.79-1373.tar.gz ./install.sh

The AP for normal work was sucessfull, but it does not work with Tuya Convert. It will not connect the device with the AP.

If i try a RT5370 with the same config everything works fine.

Here the log of RT5370

smarthack-wifi_RT5370.log

hostapd.conf

interface=wlan0 driver=nl80211 ssid=hostapd1 channel=1 hw_mode=g auth_algs=1 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=123456789

Here the log of RTL81888EUS

smarthack-wifi_8188eus.log

I have used the driver from here.

What can i do ?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate driver compatibility of RTL8188EUS with hostapd and nl80211 on Raspberry Pi. Compare the working RT5370 configuration and logs. Ensure the driver supports AP mode and check kernel module parameters.
