Model: TL-WN823N  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: ?

hello,

 

I am using Debian 10 with kernel 4.19.98.
(also tried Debian testing with kernel 5.4.19, same result):

 

I downloaded the 2018-05-08 driver for the V3:

https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/download/tl-wn823n/v3/#Driver

 

It did not compile/load, so I made these changes (first changes are for compilation,

final change is for loading (__vfs_read -> kernel_read):

Unfortunately, when using this driver, the whole system freezes.

 

When using the 'rtl8xxxu' driver (as suggested here:
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Karten/TP-Link/), the system does not
freeze but there is another problem:

The stick works fine under W10 when connecting to the same router.

 

Does anybody have an idea?

 

Many Thanks in Advance!

This driver works:

https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.git

 

cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe -r rtlxxxu

sudo modprobe 8192eu

 

-> work :-)

sorry, should be:

 

cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe -r rtl8xxxu

sudo modprobe 8192eu

Hi @fnatter ,

I followed your instructions, but in the last step, I get the following message back:

 

 

FATAL: Module 8192eu not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.0-16-amd64

 

If I move 8192eu to the directory above, it still does not see it. What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Orlando.

@fnatter Hi Orlando,

 

using dkms worked better for me (sorry I didn't comment it here):

 

$ cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver

$ sudo dkms add ./rtl8192eu
$ sudo dkms build rtl8192eu/1.0
$ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
reboot (might not be necessary).

 

According [1], the 2nd step might need to be

$ sudo dkms add .

 

[1] https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8192eu-linux-driver

 

Does this work for you?

 

Cheers and Best Regards,

Felix
