What's the thing that makes my Wi-Fi adapter work on Manjaro?

Support Network

Hello, I have a TP-Link Archer T2U Plus Wi-Fi, and Manjaro was able to support it after installing and updating the system without having to do any additional things. I would like to know what in the system makes it work, so that I can use it on other Linux installations as well.

That means the driver for your adapter is included in the kernel.

inxi -N | grep driver

:wink:
