RTL8192EU and 10.12

[ganklah]

Anyone had any luck with this chipset on sierra?
I had it working perfectly under el cap - but all the drivers i've tried thus far for 10.12 just kernel panic....

Same issue here....RTL81XX drivers always seems to cause a kernel Panic. THey worked fine in the DP but not in the Public Beta. I'll try loading IONetworkingFamily and IOUSBFamily kexts from DP into the public beta and see if that fixes the problem.

Installed kexts from DP. Everything is perfect

Great news. Thanks for your reply.

Was it just those two kexts?
Also, any idea of a way to get hold of those without downloading the entire DP ?

Sure. Here you go. Just install them with the latest kextUtility 2.6.6 i suppose. And later install your RTL8192EU.kext. Reboot and there will be no kernel panics.

Can someone share the drivers and describe the install process?
edit: tried 3 drivers, last one worked unexpectedly this should also work for other similar USB wifi devices
