Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I just bought this but unfortunately, my Ubuntu 20.04 could not detect it. What should I do next? Can I request for kernel support somewhere? To whom? Ubuntu team or tp-link team or Linus?

 

$ lsb_release -a && uname -a

This seems to be the best workaround so far and the best solution.

Hey everyone, 

Here is a thread discussing on the similar topic of installing Linux driver for T3U/T4U V3 which uses chip RTL8812BU

You could view more useful and popular threads with the Linux topic here: 

 

 

As Linux is  an open-source system including various branches,  you could check if there are any third party driver provided from other developers for RTL8812BU on Linux forums such as Github or Askubuntu etc

Hi, just found you have another thread here. As far as I can understand, there is no need for any kernel support, you just connect the Ubuntu system to the network, either with an Ethernet cable or via Wi-Fi, it should be working then.
