=== Build the kernel ===
The kernel has to be built - for enabling the built-in driver - and the modules have to be built too for the network modules' coherence:

=== Configuring the root file system ===
The wifi adapter requires its own firmware already present in the cloned repository. Then, copy the <code>rtl8188eufw.bin</code> firmware in the proper path in the root file system (i.e. <code>/lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin</code>)
scp drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8188eu/rtl8188eufw.bin root@192.168.0.90:/lib/firmware/rtlwifi
