Not really. It says on the TP-Link website
"Supports Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7"
I doubt if they even heard of Linux let alone provide drivers. I hope
some of the clever people in here can help.

More information please. What errors? Is the appropriate module for you
wifi being loaded? Look at lsmod. Or look in dmesg to see if there is
some clue there.

=======================
Dear Customer:
Thank you for your email requesting information about our product.
It is compatible with Linux. But we don’t have the driver for Linux. You
may find the driver from Internet, such as the chipset of manufacture’s
offical site or some reliable third-party sites like
http://wireless.kernel.org. The chipset of TL-WN822N V1 is
AR9170+AR9102, and WN822N V2 is AR7010+AR9287.
If you need any further help, please feel free to contact me.

Try this:
1. Go to the MCC (Mandriva Control Centre) (it's the small icon in your
taskbar lower left side. It looks like a blue computer screen with a red
wrench) -- it will ask for your root password
2. left blue side menu -- Network/Internet
3. right window -- Configure a new internet connection...
4. Choose Wi-fi -- at this point it may ask for you to insert your
Mandriva disk to install the wi-fi related software
5. Choose -- use a Window driver (with ndiswrapper) -- at this point it
will install the ndiswrapper from your disk
6. Remove your Mandriva disk and insert your Wi-fi CD install disk
7. Wait until it is recognized
8. Browse to your CD drive and find the driver file folder
9. Pick a driver version (I would choose the XP version)
10. Once inside the XP filefolder, look for an .inf file and choose this
file.
11. Click on all the following "next" buttons in your Mandriva setup
until it is finished.
12. Your wireless should now work
Cheers

go. You need to be more expansive. We are not mind readers and the
problem usually rests in the details. Since you admit you are ignorant,
why would you think that you can adequately summarize the problem for
us? Give us the details-- cut and paste-- not simply some short nemonic
for yourself.

Somehow I do not thing your experience with Mandriva is relevant to the
problem.

at the end I have found this:
TP-Link TL-WN821N
TP-Link TL-WN821N
Chipset: Atheros
usbid: 0cf3:1002
Info
Not working, tried with driver arusb_xp.inf from CD.
Everything went smoothly in the ndis install, but the device doesn't
show up with iwconfig.

And my device , TP-Link TL-WN822N, is not listed.
Ahime!

If the ndis install works, go into Mandriva Linux Control Center
and configure the thing the way Mandriva has set things up to
work. Insist on doing it "your way" and you better know every
step of the way, and how to make the Mandriva tools go that way.
If you do know every step of the way and how Mandriva walks that
route, please ignore my message; you don't need it. But if you
don't, try doing what the sysadmins and others on this forum
suggest. You are much more likely to get things working that way.
I am not the WiFi guru (don't use WiFi if I can possibly avoid
it; I do configure and trouble-shoot my wife's iBook as needed,
but that has proven to be relatively easy), but I have been on
this forum for a few years and I suspect that your equipment can
be made to work -- if you do it the Mandriva Linux way. There
are people on this forum who can provide suggestions. Some
experimentation may be required.
Cheers!

My researches were the same. Personally, I never run a modem from USB under
Linux. I connect it via Ethernet. But I think that my present NetComm's
manual gives instructions for USB and Linux. A search for "Linux" in TP-
Link's FAQ page gave the result: "None."
I think that there is a resource page for USB support under Linux. The .inf
file the OP quoted is for Windows only. There is one link here, but it may
not be helpful. It is getting above my level:
http://www.hackorama.com/pages/usb.shtml
The next kernel may support it. When I bought my present computer, I
needed to substitute an Ethernet card until the built-in one was
supported.

Can you give him a command to try, and cut and paste the output? Something
like "lsusb" although perhaps that will only tell us what we already know.
You are the networking expert, Bill.
What about MCC's Hardware List, saying the driver is xxxxx? But it will
probably not suggest a driver? That is the trouble with drivers under
Linux.
Recalling my struggles with a USB printer, the first thing I did was to
make sure that all the udev packages were installed.
Doug.

I am grateful for your courtesy, but its nothing to do

and recent.
Thank you, I give up for good. It is thing por "guru"

P.S.
in a pc of one of my friends, with Ubuntu 10.10, wi-fi goes very well in
same situation, without nothing to do: automatic installation!

Hello,
I, unfortunately, are forced to use a wi-fi adapter because the router
to keep it close to the TV/satellite/set.
Let us wait for next kernel.
thanks and regards

ps excuse my english........

No excuse necessary. I'm sure most of us English-speakers would be far
worse with your native language than you are with ours.
I connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi with one of my desktop computers,
but I use a PCI card, and a different chipset manufacturer. My
experience may not be applicable to your situation, which is why I
didn't speak up before now.
If you installed the Mandriva Free edition, it does not come with
proprietary software, such as the firmware that some Wi-Fi adapters need
to run. Mine is like that. Until that firmware is installed, my Wi-Fi
adapter isn't recognized. Once the firmware is installed, the Network
and Internet section of the Mandriva Control Center will install the
appropriate software to run it from the DVD.
It could easily be the same with your device. I would suggest you learn
the manufacturer and model number of your adapter's chipset, as well as
the vendor's information. Then, go to
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users
and see what they have to say on the subject of installation. If all you
need is firmware, they can probably direct you to the proper source.
Hope this helps...
TJ

Ciao,
thanks for everything. The drivers for the TL-WN822N TP-LINK are still
not there.
The question is not so dramatically important: in the meantime I will
connect with an ethernet modem, when the TV-router is not used.
Thanks again and best regards to all: you are very kind.
