I would really like to use the wi-fi support. I wanted to build the image myself, but I can't (not a linux user and no so much space on sd-card for raspberry too).

I call those kernel raspberrypi.org kernels.\r\nThis installer uses what I call a raspbian.org kernel and the precise reason is that it doesn't create the mess the RPF still creates and it also provides kernel-header packages which make it quite easy to compile your own kernel if you should need that.\r\nThe kernel that gets installed and used (by default) on the installed system is also a raspbian.org kernel. \r\nThe key and critical point is that the kernel and the kernel module (`r8188eu.ko` in your case) need to match exactly and the kernel modules (=drivers) provided by MrEngman don't match the one from the installer/installed system, so you can't use those.\r\n\r\n> found some but not in the .../net/wireless folder. It was folder /drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/r8188.ko\r\n\r\nAnd that makes you VERY lucky, because that driver is (also) present in the raspbian.org kernel  :wink: \r\n\r\nYou need to download http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/l/linux-3.18/linux-image-3.18.0-trunk-rpi2_3.18.5-1~exp1%2brpi19_armhf.deb for the Pi2 or http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/l/linux-3.18/linux-image-3.18.0-trunk-rpi_3.18.5-1~exp1%2brpi19_armhf.deb for the Pi 1 and extract the `r8188.ko` file from that archive and put it in the archive you need to create yourself (see my previous reply). \r\nWhether you put it in `/lib/modules/3.18.0-trunk-rpi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/` or `/lib/modules/3.18.0-trunk-rpi/kernel/drivers/drivers/staging/` probably doesn't matter.\r\nWith that it will probably work (don't forget to put it in `drivers_to_load` parameter).\r\n\r\nIf your installed system doesn't load the driver automatically, then you should put it in `/etc/modules` to force it's loading during boot up."}}
