My Digitus DN-7045 never really worked with the drivers coming with the default- or pae-kernel.
I use a 3.9.5-12.g08531e3-pae kernel from Tumbleweed OpenSuse 12.3 at the moment.
The Wlan-stick uses the realtek 8192 chip and the native rtl8192cu kernel module allows to connect to a WPA2 secured router, but that connection refuses to work after some time, often minutes, sometimes seconds, without setting off any alarm or failure note. The fact, that the connection is working no more is only showing by time out of web page requests. Of no use, therefore.
With prior kernels (< 3.6 or so), it was possible to download an appropriate driver from Realtek.tw, but that driver doesn't compile anymore on present kernels like the 3.9.5.
That Realtek.tw driver worked like a charm - even the led of the stick blinked at the rhythm of the data transfer, while the native rtl8192cu module always kept the led switched on with the Wlan-stick attached.
Now I found a site where the problems with compiling the Realtek.tw driver had been solved for ubuntu 13.04 and I decided to give that solution a chance, downloaded the package rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all.deb and extracted the deb-package with ark. The deb package contains three files, control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz and debian-binary.
After extracting further data.tar.gz, you find a directory usr and therein a directory /usr/src/rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6.
You might have to change the access rights to get this directory rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6.
This is the modified Realtek.tw driver that now is compilable with the present 3.9.5 kernel.
Within the directory rtl8192cu-tjp-1.6 with 'make' and, as root, 'make install', the module 8192cu gets installed and is working fine so far.
As mentioned at the Project Home of the site linked to at the bottom of this post, you better blacklist the native modules to give the Realtek.tw driver the advantage. Add to the file /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf the following lines:
blacklist rtl8192cu
blacklist rtl8192c_common
blacklist rtlwifi
https://code.google.com/p/realtek-81...9-ubuntu-1304/
It would be great, if this working 8192cu module could get merged into a working native kernel driver. At the moment, I am happy with this handmade solution to get the Digitus-Stick up and running at all.

Realtek 8192 Ubuntu Usb
If you want to use Wifi modules such as Edimax EW-7811Un with your Raspberry Pi, you will need the appropriate driver. For unknown reasons, the kernel-included driver for this module does not work. Luckily, Realtek is providing an open-source driver for exactly this radio module. To compile it, do this:
Realtek driver for 8192cu / 8188cu devices The in-tree kernel drivers for these devices do not work so the official realtek drivers have to be used. Gladly, these were released as GPL code so we can publish them freely. Unfortunately, they have some issues with 64bit machines so this repository contains the fixes to make them work. I've got a Dell XPS 13 9360 Developer Edition (Ubuntu 16.10). I'd like to use an ethernet adapter. I've bought a Dell Dock WD15 and a DA200 but I can't get the ethernet connection to work. When I connect the USB-C cable, these devices show up in the lsusb list: DA200: Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0bda:8152 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

You can get it at the Realtek Homepage. The direct link is ftp://WebUser:Lc9FuH5r@209.222.7.36/cn/wlan/RTL819xCU%20_USB_linux_v3.4.3_4369.20120622.zip
Realtek 8192 Driver
Open the file include/autoconf.h in your favorite editor and change the last section of the file to look like so:
(in other words: deactivate everything that looks like debugging)
You will need the appropriate compiler for the module. Also, you need to have a freshly built kernel lying around. To build the driver, to this:
You end up with a file called 8192cu.ko which is your kernel module.
- Copy the module onto your RPI
- Move the module:
- Run depmod
- Prevent the stock rtl8192cu.ko module from being loaded. To do this, simply append the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf :
- To automatically load the newly compiled module, add the following line to /etc/modules:
- done
For Wifi to work, you will need two additional things.
- Add the interface configuration to /etc/network/interfaces
- Create a new file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the following content:
Please replace YOUR_SSID and YOUR_WPA_PASSPHRASE with the appropriate values.
- Enjoy!
