TP-Link8200nd build driver problems

[Alexis212]

I have problems to build the drivers of wifi.

make clean works perfectly but make return this message:

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.13.13-1-MANJARO/build M=/home/alexisfss/Downloads/drivers/TL-WN8200ND 2.0_LinuxDriverSetup  modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.13.13-1-MANJARO/build: The file or directory does not exist. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:1686: modules] Error 2

What need to install/config for the build folder?

And IDK if it affects something but in this Manjaro I’m using i3wm.

Welcome to the forum!

Please post your system info as outlined here:

How to provide good information

Welcome to Manjaro! To allow all of us helpful gurus on this forum TO HELP YOU, we need some basic information about your system. This probably means you described the symptoms of your problem, but now we need some more information to know where the origin of your issue is exactly. Someone else probably linked you to this tutorial, so if you’re reading this in response to a question, please click the link above this text to bring you to the full and unabridged text of the tutorial… …

Did you install the base-devel package set?

Although not clear - the kernel headers could be missing?

Or maybe you have missed a ./configure command or a similar initialization?

[Alexis212]

Yeah, just now upgrade the system and install base-devel and linux-headers.

New problem:

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.13.15-1-MANJARO/build M=/home/alexisfss/Descargas/drivers/TL-WN8200ND 2.0_LinuxDriverSetup  modules

There is a couple of PKGBUILD in AUR with relation to the chipset used.

Use this command to list your usb devices

lsusb

You can look them up using this link - if it is v2 firmware

• AUR (en) - Search Criteria: rtl8192

Select the most appropriate PKGBUILD - most likely a dkms-git package will provide the best longterm result - and build it using pamac. Example

pamac build rtl8192eu-dkms-git

My comment looks awkward in the current context. The referenced topic has since been deleted by the author.

But it was off-topic for the following reasons

1. The referenced packages does not exist on Manjaro.
2. As the package manager is not used the method creates a high probability of file conflicts.
3. It was copy-pasted from another source targeting Ubuntu or Debian.

pacman? Dude im very confused but ok. Oh I just realised, does the .install file only work on Debian based distro?

[Alexis212]

Very very very very thanks.

I was trying for 3 days for to get this to work.
