+The RTL8192 package includes the kernel module '8192eu',
+which contains a TP-Link-provided kernel driver known to
+support the Realtek 8192 chipset, and possibly others.
+
+Slackware kernel-source package needs to be installed for build to work,
+and module will need to be re-built after a kernel upgrade.
+
+To build for a kernel other than the one currently running,
+pass KVER variable when invoking SlackBuild script. E.g.,
+
+ KVER=4.4.14 ./RTL8192.SlackBuild
+
+This driver is advertised to work with the following TP-Link USB wifi adapters:
+TL-WN821N V6/TL-WN822N V5/TL-WN823N V3.
+The driver has also been tested (both i386 & x86_64) to work for the TL-WN823N V2.
+Other brands of USB devices utilizing the Realtek 8192 chip may work, as well.
+
+From the website:
+
+ Published Date: 2018-05-08
+ Operating System: Linux (kernel 2.6.24 ~ 4.9.60)
+
+ For TL-WN821N V6/TL-WN822N V5/TL-WN823N V3.
+ This is a beta version; unknown bugs may still exist.
+ The formal version is coming soon.
