Archer TXE70UH Linux Drivers?
Is there any way to get Archer TXE70UH working on Linux?
I am defaulting to my mainboard's built-in WiFi6 AX200 for now. It would be great if I could use my Archer TXE70UH in Linux.

Thanks. I am stuck on this step.
sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8852cu.ko
I get the following error.
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /lib/modules/6.8.0-41-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8852cu.ko: Key was rejected by service

ChatGPT says...
The error message indicates that the kernel module you are trying to load (8852cu.ko
) is being rejected due to an issue with its cryptographic signature. This often happens on systems with Secure Boot enabled. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and fix the issue:
1. Check Secure Boot Status
Secure Boot can block unsigned or improperly signed modules.
- Run the following command to check Secure Boot status: mokutil --sb-state

I am happy with my WiFi internet speed on my Linux Mint OS. My internet plan is 1000 Mbps download and 50 Mbps upload.

I woke up today and the TP-Link TXE70UH stopped working.
Running lsusb in the terminal shows this.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:1a2b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188GU 802.11n WLAN Adapter (Driver CDROM Mode)
Now it is saying it is RTL8188GU.

Reboot your Linux.
Enter lsusb in the terminal.
You should see.

Very happy with my internet speed on Linux Mint. I can only get half of this download speed on Windows 11 Pro on the same PC!
