RT8188eu Driver issue

[Sudarshan Kakoty]

After official kernel update, my rt8188eu chipset was not working on desktop machine. There was no wifi option in network settings.

So I downloaded the driver from GitHub and compiled myself, and it worked. But if I turn off wifi from the the panel of elementary OS (right side), I can't turn that back on from GUI, I need to execute "nmcli radio wifi on" each time. (This issue existed on stocked kernel that was packed with Elementary OS too, but in my laptop, no problem at all)

# My questions are -

1. Do RT8188eu chipset drivers included in Linux Kernel ? I don't think so, I tried 4.10 with headers too.

2. The graphical glitch in WiFi toggle button is an old but still unsolved issue. I have no idea which components are responsible for it. (I tried Arch Linux+GNOME and Linux Mint 18.1, and problem is not there.)

Here is the explanation of bug in details... https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/11527/cant-get-my-usb-wifi-adaptor-working
