This driver is in staging still.  We don't enable staging drivers unless we have someone explicitly signed up to handle issues and bug reports with them.

o i don´ t know it.

Can you me tell about WLAN Dongle,wat for dongle are running in fedora 24

e.g Chipsatz: Realtek RTL8191SU >>> http://www.linux-onlineshop.de/Hardware/Zubehoer-Co/WLAN-USB-Stick-150-Mbps-80211b/g/n.geek ?

I too would like to have this driver on Fedora. It is used by the TP-LINK TL-WN725N V2, which is a very popular USB adapter.

Right now, the only way to use this in Fedora is to compile the driver yourself.

Yeah but it seems there is no way to comiple this driver while i get some errors

make

Steps to compile the rtl8188EUS Driver - and given errors

here you can see that get any wrong when i Tried to compile the rtl8188EUS driver

Regarding comment 3:
What is required to do handling issues and bug reports ?
Building the kernel package, too ? Or is this and packaging done by the kernel maintainers ?
Are there any guidelines ?
Thank you

Can you please, please tell me how to compile a driver for tp link wn725n on my own? I have no clue how to even begin and my internal wireless driver doesn't work. Please help.

Please add this driver to Fedora. I really like Fedora a lot but I cannot use it because my internal wireless doesn't work. Please add it.

Hi, i don't know, whether it is the right place to document this, however, below you can find, how i do it. This way, the driver is built automatically whenever a kernel update is installed and the system boots. The only thing you need to be aware of is, that the system will boot again after a minute or so, when the driver has been built and installed. It might be possible to go without the boot, but loading the driver is usually not the only thing to do. Network manager be restarted or whatever other stuff to be done, depending on how your system is configured. However, the boot after installing the driver does not hurt.

So here is how i do it:
At least the following packages must be installed:
kernel-devel
kernel-headers
make
gcc
So first do as root:
prompt# yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers gcc make

The init script that builds the driver expects the sources in
/opt/local/src/rtl8188eu , so as root create the directory:
prompt# mkdir -p /opt/local/src

(if you use a different directory, you must modify the value of the variable DRIVER_BUILD_DIR in the downloaded init script, please see below)

Go to the directory and obtain the sources:
prompt# cd /opt/local/src
prompt# git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu

(explained here for Ubuntu: http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=11261.0 ,
the command will create the subdirectory of /opt/local/src )

Now download the init script rebuild-rtl8188eu from
http://www.muc.de/~af/linux/rebuild-rtl8188eu

Put it into the directory /etc/init.d
Activate it:
prompt# systemctl enable rebuild-rtl8188eu

Now, for the first time, run it manually:
prompt# /etc/init.d/rebuild-rtl8188eu start

After a minute or so, your system will boot and if everything went well, have the driver loaded. The Script checks, if the driver already has been built for the current kernel and skips the rebuild in that case, so this is not done with every boot.

@Albert Flügel will not work under fedora 25
 when i Try to enter /etc/init.d/rebuild-rtl8188eu start it will appear: bash: /etc/init.d/rebuild-rtl8188eu: Permission denied

Hey Guys i´ve seen what went wrong in fedora 25

after:
prompt# systemctl enable rebuild-rtl8188eu

get in your terminal as root to: /etc/init.d/ 
and rum: chmod +x rebuild-rtl8188eu
then you can run:/etc/init.d/rebuild-rtl8188eu start
and something went fine

after updating to  kernel 4.8.10 from the testing repos the driver will not rebuild while /lib/modules/4.8.10-300.fc25.x86_64/build not exists.

So it seems you can never update your kernel or you lost your rtl8188eu

You must also update the kernel-devel package. It is required to build the driver.

Always also name kernel-devel, whenever you update kernel.

Thanks for help, now it works.

I´ve install kernel-devel for the 4.8.8 kernel but why didn´t update the kernel-devel package automaticly??

I don't know. This is something that wonders me, too. However, this is not subject to this issue.

When you run "yum update" or "dnf update", everything is updated. When you update some packages explicitely passing them as arguments, dependencies are resolved. However, for the kernel related packages there seem no explicit dependencies defined, especially not to the versions. Probably because e.g. kernel-devel is optional and the kernel packages are usually not actually updated, but added, 3 versions left in place and older ones uninstalled. So if you want to update the kernel, you want to update all installed kernel-related packages. You can do this e.g. this way:

dnf update `rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' | grep '^kernel'|sort -u`

i need the rebuild script agin but it  dosn´ t exists under the url you´ ve posted, can you reupload this script  e. g. google drive ?

thanks for help

The program is in place again.

Thanks for help.
whyyou have it delete from the web?

I think many other user need the driver for the rt8188eu, you shuld never delete the script until redhat release the driver in the kernel
