I think this is the lastest version from TP-LINK's official site...... Any suggestion?
Looking at TP-Links UK web site it says the driver supports linux(kernel 2.6.18 ~ 3.10.10) so as I said in my previous post the driver needs updating to support newer kernels.
I compile the 8192eu driver and use it. I have a script that will determine the which driver version you need and automatically download and install it. You can download and install the script using commands
Code: Select all
sudo wget http://www.fars-robotics.net/install-wifi -O /usr/bin/install-wifi
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/install-wifi
Command
will show details on how to use it. To install the driver for the current kernel version you are using use command
If you still want to compile your own version I have a patch which will update the driver and will allow it to be compiled for kernels 4.0.xx - 4.9.xx.
You can download the patch using command
Code: Select all
wget http://fars-robotics.net/Driver.patch
To download and install the patch use commands
Code: Select all
cd /root/TL-WN823N
wget http://fars-robotics.net/Driver.patch
patch -p0 < Driver.patch
Then you should be able to compile the driver. These commands assume you driver is installed in the directory you show in the picture you posted.
NOTE before applying the patch backup you current driver just in case there is a problem.
One final point. Why is the driver installed in the
/root directory. I presume this is because you are logged on to you Pi as root user.
Not a good idea. You do not need to be root to compile the driver.
