Driver rtl8188eu not installed via dkms how to fix it?

Question

linux

Hello everyone, I have RedHat 8. I found out that the WiFi adapter is not working, because of which there is no Internet access. On the Internet, I found out that I need to install the rtl8188eu driver, which means I made such a sequence of instructions and received such errors .

First, I inclined the repository: sudo dnf install git dkms
Everything is going well so far. Further:

git clone https://github.com/hanipouspilot/rtl8188eu.git

I cloned the whole repository and start installing: sudo dkms add ./rtl8188eu
Everything goes well and I start installing: sudo dkms install 8188eu/1.0

And I get this output:

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.18.0-240.8.1.el8_3.x86_64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/8188eu/1.0/build/make.log for more information.

And then I go to the log and this is what I see:

How to force the system to download drivers? Help the kettle please, I don’t understand what to do with this and how to fix and how to start my adapter .....

Answer 1

Install drivers from a more recent repository, such as https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu , or fix problems in the code in your current one.
