Installing driver on Mint, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Raspberry Pi Raspbian for WiFi USB RT5370 with chipset RTL8188ETV



 Download driver for Raspberry Pi, Mint, Ubuntu or Xubuntu:

or

$ cd ~/Downloads/8188EU/rtl8188eu-master

Unzip file rpi-rtl8188eu-master.zip

$ cd rtl8188eu-master

$ make

If your Raspbian gives you this message:

make: *** /lib/modules/3.10.25+/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2 

 
You must install linux-headers

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers

$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.10-3-rpi

$ sudo ln -s /lib/modules/3.10-3-rpi/build /lib/modules/3.10.25+/build

$ make 

 
wait 5 minutes to finish,

$ sudo make install 

 
$ sudo modprobe -r 8188eu

$ sudo modprobe 8188eu

On my Xubuntu 12.04 chipset RTL8188ETV works just fine.
But on my Raspberry Pi Raspbian it doesn't work.
WiFi USB probably needs external power for Raspberry Pi.

  1. I got the RTL8188ETV working on my older IBM ThinkCentre/U 14.04 with your excellent and easy-to-follow instructions! Thank you very much there, and best regards from Aki, Finland :D.
