Description
After official kernel update, my rt8188eu chipset was not working on the 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 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 on my laptop, no problem at all)
Do RT8188eu chipset drivers included in Linux Kernel? I don't think so, I tried 4.10 with headers too. "
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 the problem was not there.)
