RT8188EU Wifi dongle, possible fix?

Hi, I’m using an x86_x64 based machine (i5-3317u mini pc made in china) and my wifi dongle is not working. I read some other users have similar issues with the RT8188EU chip (conmanctl only throws an error, as if its systemd service werent included or named properly, whatever…).

The thing is, I think we can add/replace the whole driver to Lakka, by simply download it to the lib/modules path then use insmod & modprobe to try if it works…

I’m providing a link to the driver for anyone who wants to try the fix : https://slackalaxy.com/2017/09/02/tp-link-tl-wn722n-driver/

(Sorry, I’m not confident about my skills in Linux to do it by myself)

If you guys ever find a working solution, please let me know, thx…
