Where can i get the driver for RealTek 802.11n wifi adapter for my Bionicpup32 8.0 running kernel 4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae
Device id is: 0bda:f179
I searched through entire puppy linux forums but couldn't find a solution. Please help asap (as i am a student) !!!
Hi ayush,
0bda:f179 is the rtl8188fu driver.
The driver is located on this page https://sourceforge.net/projects/zestyp ... c/drivers/
The driver you want is rtl8188fu-lxpupbionic32-4.9.163-pae.pet
The driver is a PET file. After downloading, click on it to install.
edit: Hopefully, dogcat who posted above while I was writing is correct. 
Balance of post deleted. Thanks rcrsn51 for pointing out the significance of vendor:product ID codes.
I'll try to remember to use them in searching before 'jumping in'.
You are. This has nothing to do with rtl8192cu. Ayush correctly identified the device by its vendor:product ID codes and dogcat correctly identified the matching rtl8188fu driver.
