chili555 about 6 yearsI don't believe 8188eu covers his 148f:7601 device, @Pareri Check:
modinfo 8188eu | grep 7601

CoderGuy123 about 4 yearsThis driver works, but it caused my speed to drop even lower than it was before. It's a linux driver issue, when using my phone as wifi dongle, my speed is 5x though it's connected to the same router.
