Follow these steps to compile the 8188eu driver by yourself
1. Enable „install & update kernel headers“ in the raspbmc settings menu ⇒ system configuration (this will take a while, you wont see the progress) ⇒ needed for grabbing Module.symvers
2. Install GCC, MAKE and GIT pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo apt-get -y install gcc make git
3. Get linux source code ⇒ Please verify that you are at ~ which is equal to /home/pi !
pi@raspbmc:~$ wget –no-check-certificate https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/archive/rpi-3.10.y.tar.gz
pi@raspbmc:~$ tar -xzf rpi-3.10.y.tar.gz pi@raspbmc:~$ mv linux-rpi-3.10.y rpi-linux
4. Get rtl8188eu source code pi@raspbmc:~$ git clone git:github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git 5. Clean the kernel source pi@raspbmc:~$ cd rpi-linux pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ make mrproper 6. Setup .config and clear the CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE assignment in .config pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ vi .config 6.1. Now clear the CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE assignment ⇒ CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=„“ 6.2. Type „:x“ and then type Enter to save 7. Prepare the modules pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ make modules_prepare 8. Copy Module.symvers from kernel headers folder to linux source folder pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ cp /usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.13/Module.symvers . 9. Prepare the installation of the rtl8188eu driver by defining folder links pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /home/pi/rpi-linux /usr/src/linux pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.10.13/source pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.10.13/build 10. make and install the rtl8188eu pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ cd ../rtl8188eu pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ make && make install 11. Optional: Install the driver if make install didn’t work due to permission pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo cp 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo depmod -a pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo modprobe 8188eu 12. now ifconfig should show wlan0
