📡 Offline Wi-Fi Driver Installation Guide

This guide is for users who lack internet access on their Linux system. Follow these steps and replace the driver command with the one appropriate for your Realtek chipset.

1️⃣ Connect Phone & Enable USB Tethering

  • Android: Settings → Connections → Mobile Hotspot & Tethering → USB Tethering
  • iPhone: Settings → Personal Hotspot → Enable → Connect via USB

2️⃣ Verify USB Network Interface

ip link
  • The interface usually appears as usb0 or enp0sXX.

3️⃣ Acquire IP via DHCP

sudo dhclient usb0

4️⃣ Install RTL8192EU Driver

yay -Sy --noconfirm rtl8192eu
  • This builds and installs Mange’s Realtek RTL8192EU kernel module.
  • Replace the command with your specific Realtek driver if different.

5️⃣ Disconnect Tethering

  • Once the driver is installed, the system can use Wi-Fi natively.

✅ Result: Temporary internet via USB tethering → install Wi-Fi driver → native Wi-Fi works.

✨ Aside from that, a few additional tweaks were made, but I prioritized addressing the Wi-Fi driver issues.
