Wireless Issue with Rtl8188su Chipset USB dongle
I feel I have scoured the internet to solve this issue to no avail.
I know there is a solution I am just unsure of how to find it.
The Issue: I am unable to see any wifi networks. I WAS able to when I installed it at first, though I could still not connect to them, it was saying it needed passkeys or authentication. After trying to install various drivers, I have lost all sight of networks.
.
- I have recently installed Linux Mint 19.1
- Updated the system until there are not more updates
- Installed the most current Graphics driver 415 I think
- Installed and have working "Easytether" via an old tethered cellphone connected to my router(will this conflict?)
- Uninstalled Network Manager and installed Wicd(this caused Cinnamon to crash and had to reinstall using alt-ctl-f1, etc.)
- Wicd is currently installed and I noticed when I installed cinnamon again it reinstalled Network Manager.
- It shows "no networks available" in network manager and wicd.
I have installed the rtl8192su-master drivers from github(these support the 8188su chipset from what I can tell.) - Attempted windows drivers via Ndiswrapper
- I know there are commands that will tell you what is running and, installed, etc.
- I will give you the outputs of these as you ask for them.
- Thanks :)
