Just bought a TPLINK wireless USB adapter.The model it’s TL-WN823N (V3)On the oficial webpage drivers for Linux are shown, but it seems that only for kernel versions up to 4 .10oficial page >> https://www.tp-link.com/ar/support/download/tl-wn823n/i’ve checked for ways to get the drivers for arch linux, but a problem wth the kernel version seems to occur.example #1,Result: ricklinux December 29, 2021, 12:20am 2

No such file or directory. Stop.

You can try the git package instead then.yay -S rtl8192eu-gitEdit: You probably used the wrong command because of upper case. Should be:yay -S rtl8192euEdit: Both are in the AUR1 Like ricklinux December 29, 2021, 12:35am 3 Sometimes it’s best to search with yay first using yay -Ss because the name of the file has to be accurate.1 Like jonathon December 29, 2021, 1:29am 4

Hi!. Just bought a TPLINK wireless USB adapter.

I assume you checked it had decent Linux support before buying it?

Yes indeedy, and making the search slightly less specific can also highlight useful options:DKMS driver packages are much more likely to be useful compared to the others.2 Likes daab December 29, 2021, 3:13pm 5 Sadly I made the mistake of not checking decent Linux support before buying. Anyways, my 2 cents, lsub should show which drivers to use - apparently tp-link change internals without changing the model number.So I had to install drivers for RTL8821AU ricklinux December 29, 2021, 3:22pm 6

Always check the hardware info as it is the chip that matters. Sometimes the chip will even be a different vendor or as in your case a different version. Argenisjimort December 30, 2021, 4:35pm 7 UPDATE #1:I feel like i did’t explain the problem clearly enough.i have tried to download all those drivers in many of the ways i’ve been suggested to.The problems seems to be that the drivers only work up to a certain linux kernel version., as the error shown after tried to install any of them seems to suggest: ricklinux December 30, 2021, 4:49pm 8 You needed to install this one. Argenisjimort December 30, 2021, 5:09pm 9 tried this, and now this error occurs: ricklinux December 30, 2021, 5:20pm 10 Do you have it working or not?Edit: Try this one Argenisjimort December 30, 2021, 6:51pm 11 ricklinux December 30, 2021, 6:56pm 12 Okay…you have shown 3 different packages all not working? Are you running on the lts kernel or some other? Or are you not running the package install correctly?Just press enter for each entry. Stagger_Lee December 30, 2021, 7:47pm 13 Do you have kernels headers installed? Do they match the kernel version?What is the output of:pacman -Q | grep linux3 Likes Argenisjimort December 31, 2021, 1:55am 14 I believe i just have to accept the “linux compatible” usb wireless adapter i just bought doesnt work. Even the oficial Tp-link webpage show drivers avaliable only up to 4.10anyways, heres my linux kernel.Current Kernel version:and here the installation process: ricklinux December 31, 2021, 2:05am 15 So it seems there is some reason why it’s not working.

It’s very strange to me as i have a lot of Tp-link WiFi cards but they are internal Pci-E cards and they use Broadcom chips. Stagger_Lee December 31, 2021, 2:22am 16 I ask again:Do you have kernel headers installed? Do they match the kernel version?What is the output of:pacman -Q | grep linux Argenisjimort December 31, 2021, 2:47am 17 sorry for not answering earlier. here is the output1 Like Stagger_Lee December 31, 2021, 2:50am 18 Your kernel is 5.15.10, and your headers are 5.15.11.I don’t know what you’ve been doing to achieve that partial upgrade state, but UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM, reboot, and try building the package again; when yay asks you to for “packages to cleanbuild,” type A (for “All”) just in case.EDIT - I missed that you also have the LTS kernel - you’ll probably want to install the linux-lts-headers package. s4ndm4n December 31, 2021, 7:25am 19 He might have done it manually. I think it would be better if he can use akm. manuel December 31, 2021, 1:48pm 20 There may be some active IgnorePkg setting in his /etc/pacman.conf.next page →
