Looking for a driver for my wireless adapter

[weeslayer]

Hi there. I’m a new Linux user, and I using a 2-days old Manjaro KDE. My laptop’s built-in wifi card isn’t stable, so I got a USB one. TP-Link T2U Archer. Apparently it’s only for windows and macos. (although there’s a guide for ubuntu…)

I’ve tried looking for drivers using the pacman, and searched online for github driver package, but was without luck. So I was wondering are there any places to look for solutions?

Thanks!

Hi!
I think this is the package you need
TP-link T2U Archer

Device-3: TP-Link 802.11ac WLAN Adapter type: USB driver: usb-network

If it is really an TP-Link T2U Archer then the wrong driver has been loaded some how.

It should be 8192eu.

Installation%20Guide%20for%20Linux.pdf

and it is in kernel 5.4 included:

Could you provide more detailed information?

 inxi -Nazy

Thanks

And please correct the formatting Here is an example how ti works:

Use ``` at the first line and the last line.

Use ``` at the first line and the last line.

Example:

```
code from terminal
```

I guess you need to install this package:

pamac build 8192eu-dkms

Please run that command (wait until it is finished) and reboot.

That will take a while, since it needs to build everything.

I’m doing that through the GUI pacman. It’s still running post transaction hooks… I will reply as soon as it’s done

There is no driver - and the mt7610u in AUR does not build - as I recall the source has vanished.

As I did buy two of these - mistaken for the Linux compatibility - I build a package many - many moons ago. You can find it at my server with the sources - I think the source package also contains the PKGBUILD - if you want to rebuild the package - although I actually installed myself not long ago.

Just verified on my current workstation - the package is still valid even with this config

Linux ts 5.8.8-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Wed, 09 Sep 2020 19:01:48 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If you want to use this package - you need to remove other packages you built/installed for this device.

thanks for the info and link. I’m now trying to get it to work
