I bought a TP-Link TL-WN822N v4 wi-fi dongle, based upon a Realtek RTL8192EU chipset.



It is recognized out of the box on a Linux system, but would not connect to anything (the connections will be very weak, even though the adapter has external antennas).



What to do?




wifi drivers realtek

          It can be solved by installing this alternative driver.



          You will need an alternate method of internet connection (such as a wired connection or a tethered phone).



          1. Install kernel headers, git and dkms.

          2. Clone the repo: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.git somewhere in your home directory.

          3. Add it to the DKMS: dkms add ., then build it with dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0.

          4. Try loading the new module 8192eu. If it works, blacklist the broken rtl8xxxu module.

          Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
