## Tested Linux Distros and Tools
Successful tested injection `aireplay-ng -9 <interface>`, deauthentication `aireplay-ng -0 1 -a <bssid> <interface>`.
NO `fixed channel 1` issue.
Successful hcxdumptool driver test `hcxdumptool -i <interface> --check_driver` and capture packets `hcxdumptool -i <interface> -o test.pcapng --filterlist_ap=targets.lst --filtermode=2 --enable_status=15` `(hcxdumptool -i <interface> -o test.pcapng --filterlist=targets.lst --filtermode=2 --enable_status=15)`.
Connecting to AP with WPA3 (WPA3-SAE) authentication method (IMPORTANT: Test distro Ubuntu 22.04 kernel 5.15 - NetworkManager 1.36.4 nmcli tool, version 1.36.4. Otherwise use wpa_supplicant).
Start WPA3 (WPA3-SAE) SoftAP.
TX power control tested with SoftAP mode and OpenWrt firmware (OpenWrt 21.02.0 r16279-5cc0535800, Channel Analysis Feature).

## HOW TO
### Install
Download source:
```
git clone https://github.com/ivanovborislav/rtl8188eu.git
cd rtl8188eu
```
Install missing packages:
```
sudo apt-get install bc build-essential
```
Install linux headers:
```
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
```
or
```
apt-cache search linux-headers
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.14.0-kali4-amd64 (for example)
apt-cache search linux-image
sudo apt-get install linux-image-5.14.0-kali4-amd64 (for example)
```
Compile:
```
make
sudo make install
```
IMPORTANT: Prevent loading old driver r8188eu.
```
echo "blacklist r8188eu" > /etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf
```
Raspberry Pi:
Edit `Makefile`:
Ln143 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = `y` to CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = `n`
Ln144 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_RPI_ARM = `n` to CONFIG_PLATFORM_RPI_ARM = `y` for ARM
or
Ln145 - CONFIG_PLATFORM_RPI_ARM64 = `n` to CONFIG_PLATFORM_RPI_ARM64 = `y` for ARM64
### DKMS installation
```
sudo git clone "https://github.com/ivanovborislav/rtl8188eu.git" /usr/src/rtl8188eu-5.13.3
sudo dkms add -m rtl8188eu -v 5.13.3
sudo dkms autoinstall
dkms status
```
or
```
sudo git clone "https://github.com/ivanovborislav/rtl8188eu.git" /usr/src/rtl8188eu-5.13.3
sudo dkms add -m rtl8188eu -v 5.13.3
sudo dkms build -m rtl8188eu -v 5.13.3
sudo dkms install -m rtl8188eu -v 5.13.3
dkms status
```
### Monitor mode
```
sudo airmon-ng check kill
sudo ip link set <interface> down
sudo iw dev <interface> set type monitor
sudo ip link set <interface> up
```
### Managed mode
```
sudo ip link set <interface> down
sudo iw dev <interface> set type managed
sudo ip link set <interface> up
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager (sudo service network-manager restart)
```
### TX power control
Note: Set TX power before start SoftAP mode. `...set txpower fixed 3000 = txpower 30.00 dBm`.
```
sudo iw dev <interface> set txpower fixed 3000
```
### Driver options
#### Change driver options during inserting driver module
Remove (unload) a module from the Linux kernel.
```
sudo rmmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko
```
Insert (load) a module into the Linux kernel.
```
sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8188eu.ko rtw_ips_mode=1 rtw_drv_log_level=4 rtw_power_mgnt=2 rtw_led_ctrl=1
```
#### Change driver options loading from file
Create a file `8188eu.conf` containing `options 8188eu rtw_ips_mode=1 rtw_drv_log_level=4 rtw_power_mgnt=2 rtw_led_ctrl=1`.
Copy a file to `/etc/modprobe.d/` directory.
```
sudo cp -f 8188eu.conf /etc/modprobe.d
```
Power saving control.
IPS (Inactive Power Saving) Function, rtw_ips_mode=
```
0:Disable IPS
1:Enable IPS (default)
```
LPS (Leisure Power Saving) Function, rtw_power_mgnt=
```
0:Disable LPS
1:Enable LPS
2:Enable LPS with clock gating (default)
```
Driver debug log level control, rtw_drv_log_level=
```
0:_DRV_NONE_
1:_DRV_ALWAYS_
2:_DRV_ERR_
3:_DRV_WARNING_
4:_DRV_INFO_ (default)
5:_DRV_DEBUG_
6:_DRV_MAX_
```
Driver LED control, rtw_led_ctrl=
```
0:led off
1:led blink (default)
2:led on
```
Driver REGD source selection, rtw_regd_src=
```
0:Realtek defined
1:OS (default, get channel plan from OS)
```
### Connecting with wpa_supplicant
Example wpa_supplicant.conf with WPA3-Personal (WPA3-SAE).
```
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
country=EN
p2p_no_group_iface=1
sae_groups=19 20 21
network={
ssid="WPA3"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=SAE
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
ieee80211w=2
psk="1234567890"
}
```
Now start...
```
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo killall wpa_supplicant
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i <interface> -c wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo dhclient <interface>
```
### Start SoftAP mode
Example hostapd.conf with WPA3-Personal (WPA3-SAE).
```
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=0
driver=nl80211
ssid=WPA3
country_code=EN
channel=6
beacon_int=100
dtim_period=1
fragm_threshold=2346
rts_threshold=2347
hw_mode=g
ieee80211n=1
max_num_sta=16
