=== 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:
make UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage modules
Once built, copy and create a tar archive with the new moduleskernel uImage in the target:
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules-install modules_installscp arch/arm/boot/uImage root@192.168.0.90:/home/root
tar zcpf modules.tar.gz * and extract then move the new modules created archive <code>uImage</code> in the root-file systemSD card first partition.
=== 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
