Hello there,
I was trying to install drivers for the donggle from this repo GitHub - quickreflex/rtl8188eus: Wifi driver support for rtl8188eu, rtl8188eus and rtl8188etv chips and working under the new linux kernel (5.1.x).
But when i try to install it, the process fail.
Then, trying to install de linux-header, only i can install linux-headers-4.15.0-20-generic, that is another version.
Thank you for your time
The kernel sources for the PYNQ image are in /kernel.tgz in the root file system. If you run sudo tar -xf kernel.tgz in the root file system that will unpack the sources into /usr/src/kernel which you can then use for building the kernel module.

Thank you for your answer. I was trying to install and unpack the module into kernel but the process fail when i make it.
In other side, i found that the driver that i need its located in usr/src/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/, but it fails when i make the Makefile.
How can i continue? I was thinkin in recompile the kernel with petalinux for solve the issue.
Hi, tdf,
I’m planning to enable USB WiFi dongle on PYNQ-Z1 as well. However, I found the following information.’

"In this notebook, a wifi dongle has been plugged into the board. Specifically a RALink wifi dongle commonly used with Raspberry Pi kits is connected into the board. Using Linux calls and Python functions, we will determine the unique name of the dongle and then create a network entry for a known ssid/password pair. This demo was first done using an iPhone hotspot wireless connection.\n",

I’m wondering if you’ve read the above link. Why do you decide to go for installation of the driver ?
Thank you
