Hi Bodhi,

I want to install a new realtek-driver for an usb-ethernetcard
It is not in firmware-realtek

It's the realtek 8152 driver

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID aaaa:8816
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8152 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1a40:0101 Terminus Technology Inc. 4-Port HUB

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I downloaded it from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=55&PFid=55&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#RTL8152B(N) --> 0007-r8152.53-2.08.0.bz2

unpacked it in /root with: tar -xvjf 0007-r8152.53-2.08.0.bz2

Did instal a buiding enviroment: apt-get install build-essentials

Tryed to do a make:
cd /root/r8152-2.08.0
./make

root@Stora2:~/r8152-2.08.0# make
make -C /lib/modules/4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1/build SUBDIRS=/root/r8152-2.08.0 modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:18: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Are missing build dir. So i thougt i install linux-source essentials

Can you tell me where to find package with 4.10.9 build dir:





 /lib/modules/4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1/build





Thanks





Erik

The package linux-headers-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 is installed.


Package 'linux-headers-generic' has no installation candidate

This headers package is what you need to start compiling the RTL8152 module in the mainline source tree:
./linux/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c

I dont think you need to download anything else.

Erik,

I will add this module to my next kernel release (in 2-3 weeks).

Hi Bodhi,

Thanks in advance.

I have made some steps:
Created 2 links:
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld1 /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld1/ /lib/modules/linux-headers-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld1/build

So i think i have to search any futher....
Think i do something wrong

Erik,

I'm not at home, so it would not be easy for me to advise why you have this error. If you could, wait for another 1-2 weeks and I will compile that module for you.

Hello, Bodhi!

I now finally got a working SSD for my goflexnet. Now I need the driver module for this rtl8152 device, also.
Did you compile it, back then? Because in the latest Debian(+latest Kernel) that I have installedm there doesn't seem to be a matching module:

This is what happens after plugging in the USB device:

[ 1151.087773] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using orion-ehci
[ 1151.288980] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=818b, bcdDevice= 2.00
[ 1151.297213] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 1151.304716] usb 1-1: Product: 802.11n NIC
[ 1151.308777] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Realtek
[ 1151.312891] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001

I tried building from mainline source for 4.17, but it didn't work, because of wrong header paths. Pathes like <asm/xxx.h> and such are not found, although the headers are installed. So it's the same problem that Erik had before. I tried symlinking the .h files to ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.17.2-kirkwood-tld-1/include/linux/ and ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-4.17.2-kirkwood-tld-1/include/linux/asm, but I have done this for about 3 hours now, and it won't end.

Seems like I would have to parse through all kernel sources for working around this path problem, this way.

ElMariachi,

Yes I did. Try:

modprobe r8152

Hello Bodhi!

Sorry, I confused this.. I had wrong information from some website.
The driver I really need is rtl8xxxu (for the rtl8192eu chipset).
I will see if I can compile this myself. But the problem with the wrong header file pathes still remains..

I forgot, which box do you have and trying to install rtl8192eu?
