[arch-general] TP-link tl-wn823n v2.0 wifi dongle not working
Hi everyone, I'm trying to make tl-wn823n v2.0 work on arch linux. I followed the this[1] guide. I was able to install the driver: $ lsmod | grep 8192 8192eu 1544192 0 cfg80211 851968 1 8192eu vmw_vmci 81920 0 $ dmesg | grep 8192 [ 290.144747] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8192eu $ lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance. - Tim [1]https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218152
Hi Tim,
I'm trying to make tl-wn823n v2.0 work on arch linux. I followed the this[1] guide. [1]https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218152
Have you also been following this guide in the wiki? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration/Wireless
I was able to install the driver:
$ lsmod | grep 8192 8192eu 1544192 0 cfg80211 851968 1 8192eu vmw_vmci 81920 0
The forum thread you reference is from 2016 and says Something interesting, support for this device will be in the 4.9 kernel using the rtl8xxxu driver, then you won't need any external drivers anymore It's not clear what parts you have done from that thread, and whether you'd be better off ignoring it and following the wiki. -- Cheers, Ralph.

What I did was installing the this[1] aur package, then manually insert the module into the kernel.

But if you read that whole thread, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218152, it says rtl8xxxu will soon be the driver to use, not 8192eu. The first post in it also gives a USB ID of 2357:0109 for the device but I can't find the Wi-Fi device in your output of ‘lsusb’. Which one is it?

Yes but according this[1] forum thread, rtl8xxxu should be blacklisted to make 8192eu to work, yet I don't find rtl8xxxu on my system.
