Compiling TP-LINK WN725N V2 driver in Raspbmc with 3.10.13 kernel

Assalamualaikum,  Hi.
DISCLAIMER: I didn't take any credit for this post. This post is direct copy-pasta from Stm lab's user Rodi post

I just re-share for visibility and record. But maybe will re-edit with my wording later on.

Edit: Support for 8188EU chipsets already added into the Raspbmc kernel after latest hotfix update ~ http://www.raspbmc.com/2013/10/raspbmc-hotfix/

TLDR;
Grab the kernel module mirrored here, put it in wireless modules folder, depmod -a, modprobe 8188eu. Full step-by-step guide is in my previous post.

Long version:
Follow these steps to compile the 8188eu driver by yourself

1. Enable "install & update kernel headers" in the raspbmc settings menu => system configuration (this will take a while, you wont see the progress)
⇒ needed for grabbing Module.symvers

2. Install GCC, MAKE and GIT

pi@raspbmc:~$ sudo apt-get -y install gcc make git

3. Get linux source code
=> Please verify that you are at ~ which is equal to /home/pi !

pi@raspbmc:~$ wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/archive/rpi-3.10.y.tar.gz

pi@raspbmc:~$ tar -xzf rpi-3.10.y.tar.gz
pi@raspbmc:~$ mv linux-rpi-3.10.y rpi-linux

4. Get rtl8188eu source code

pi@raspbmc:~$ git clone git://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git

5. Clean the kernel source

pi@raspbmc:~$ cd rpi-linux
pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ make mrproper

6. Setup .config and clear the CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE assignment in .config

pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ vi .config

6.1. Now clear the CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE assignment ⇒ CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE=""
6.2. Type ":x" and then type Enter to save

7. Prepare the modules

pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ make modules_prepare

8. Copy Module.symvers from kernel headers folder to linux source folder

pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ cp /usr/src/linux-headers-3.10.13/Module.symvers .

9. Prepare the installation of the rtl8188eu driver by defining folder links

pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /home/pi/rpi-linux /usr/src/linux
pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.10.13/source
pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/3.10.13/build

10. make and install the rtl8188eu

pi@raspbmc:~/rpi-linux$ cd ../rtl8188eu
pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ make && make install

11. Optional: Install the driver if make install didn’t work due to permission

pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo cp 8188eu.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo depmod -a
pi@raspbmc:~/rtl8188eu$ sudo modprobe 8188eu

12. now ifconfig should show wlan0
