Irecently got a wireless adapter (TP-Link Archer T2UH V1). After plugging it in, I found out that the drivers for Linux are not native on Ubuntu. They do, however, have the drivers available for download (in the form of compilable/ makefile). What I am not sure of is how to install these drivers. I know that I need to build the drivers, place things where they need to be, and tie things together with the kernel. I am not sure how to do this, however, and need some help.

I have a TP-Link T2U Wi-Fi adapter and I was in struggle to find a working driver for Ubuntu 18.10. All the drivers, original and modified, was for previous version of the kernel but nothing useful for the 4.15 kernel. After a painful morning I found a working link to run the TP-Link T2U on the latest kernel.


After these steps the device should work. If you want the driver to work after the updating the kernel I advise to follow the next steps that includes the dkms utility. You will need to work in the directory "mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes" otherwise the process will not work.


Basically Win7 detects the USB dongle OK - However when it tries to load the driver it tries by using Windows Update which fails to find a suitable driver and then Win7 searches locally on my PC which also fails to find the appropriate driver.


Have tried installing the Link software numerous times as well as trying out different combos of when the actual USB dongle is inserted. ie before or after Link software has been installed etc. Have also tried removing the dongle via device manager to force Win7 to re-install yet to no avail...!


I always just seem to end up with the dongle appearing in device manager as 'Corsair Link TM USB Dongle' with a yellow exclamation mark as Win7 is unable to load/find the appropriate driver for the device.


Question - I assume the driver should get loaded by the Corsair Link software on installation but is the driver available for download as a standalone driver? I tried searching for this driver on my hard drive after the Link Software is installed but I cannot see any subdirectory related to driver files etc as we do with many other USB type devices??


I've run into the same problem, except none of the available software versions are helping :( I've just reinstalled Windows 7 and put it in a new case, neither of which should (in my eyes) affect this...


What I found was that you can install one of the very early software variants eg v2.1.1 etc and the installer package will copy the driver into a 'driver' sub-directory where you installed the main package.


So the driver software you can install from TP link technically works ( -link.com/ca/support/download/ub400/#Driver), but let be honest it is very slow. Audio output to my bluetooth headphones is constatanly out of sync by 1-2 seconds at worst. The real problem with the TP-Link's driver software is that it can only pair with one device at a time, and the pairing process is forced to have to connect only using the bluetooth icon in the taskbar.


@jrmistry That's interesting the 2004 bloke your BT as well. It took out the built in setup, so I tried the external dongle to see what would happen. It didn't work either. The dongle was listed in the printers and devices section with e picture of a headset (as is seen in this thread), however, I was unable to find it listed in the actual device manager., therefore I was unable to update it or choose a different driver.


I had this problem, but found a solution that I hadn't seen explained in full anywhere else (although the idea of updating the driver that some people have mentioned was the clue that let me find the solution).


@JaydenH, I had similar issues and i had to go to Add or remove program and remove CSR Bluetooth Harmony Stack, then scan for hardware changes in device manager and suddenly everything started appearing again. Also check, ctrl + r, type services.msc and see if BluetoothSupportService is running otherwise restart the service and reboot. Hope this helps.


@JaydenH If it is not recognized, please download and install the Bluetooth driver manually from the official website. Try to insert UB400/ UB4A into a different USB port on your computer. For Windows XP/7, try to restart the computer after installing the driver.


@JaydenH A little bit too late, but I run into the same problem: my computer has a faulty integrated BT adapter, and Windows would not recognize the UB400 I got as a replacement. The UB400 will work only after you disable the default adapter. Try disabling the default adapter and rebooting your machine.


I have recently purchased an Edimax EW7811UTC AC WiFi adapter for use with my Raspberry Pi 3b running Raspbian Jessie with Pixel desktop. This WiFi dongle uses the rtl8812au chipset and the driver for this chipset is not included in Raspbian releases. (It is included in distributions like OpenELEC)


"In normal circumstances there is NEVER a need to run rpi-update as it always gets you to the leading edge firmware and kernel and because that may be a testing version it could leave your RPi unbootable". =916911#p916911 Even the rpi-update documentation now warns "Even on Raspbian you should only use this with a good reason. This gets you the latest bleeding edge kernel/firmware."


The last comment says #check wlan0 interface appeared but if you still have the RPi on-board WiFi activated, the dongle will appear as wlan1. I recommend that you disable the on-board WiFi chip in order to save power and avoid causing interference if you'll be using a 2.4Ghz band.


These steps worked out flawlessly and soon after and I was connected to an ASUS AC1900 (802.11ac dual-band 5Ghz) router. As of the latest edit to this post I have been using the dongle for about 2 days for about 10 hours a day without problems.


Side note:There are many posts by MrEngman on the Raspberry Pi forums answering questions related to the Realtek WiFi chipset drivers and you'll encounter many 404'd Dropbox links to drivers and install-wifi shell scripts attributed to MrEngman. I didn't follow any of them as the information was too fragmented and he does not seem active anymore. When following any of his tips or hints, be sure to go to his site first and follow the information there; don't go forum diving in old threads. Especially when there's different drivers, kernels and versions at play.


I am using a Windows 10 64-bit laptop with USB 3 ports and have installed the STLINK utility, en_stsw-link004.zip, which includes the relevent USB drivers. The installation appears to succeed, however, when I plug in the development board via USB Windows complains with 'USB device not recognised'. In Device Manager, under the Universal Serial Bus controllers section I have an entry which shows as 'Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed), which is presumably the STLINK/V2 probe in the development board. Also I have no virtaul COM port entry.


According to the Getting Started card in the box an LED should flash, and when a button is pressed it changes. I am getting no flashing LED at all. Also the power LD3 is not on either. LD1 on the probe does, however, flash 3 or 4 times when it is plugged into the USB port. I am certain that the links specified on the card are configured correctly.


Having tried many things including your suggestion it turned out to be a faulty USB cable. The cable was new about six months ago and one of many I had knocking about. Trust me to use the only one that was broken.


I had exactly same problem but with an ST-LINK V2 standalone. I realized the problem was using the ST's official USB cable, the solution is to use a USB cabe that actually works. For me as soon as I changed the cable, the problem was solved.


Hello, I am experiencing the same issue with the STM32MP157C-EV1 ST-Link v2.1 on both Windows 10 64-bit and Ubuntu 18.04. I tried multiple USB cables and none of them works, there is the same entry in device manager on Windows stating it can not obtain device descriptor (code 43). I used the same cable(s) for the DK2 and it had no issue connecting, ST-Link was recognized right away. I believe all drivers are installed properly as DK2 is recognized. Is the board faulty or there is a way to fix this?


Hello. My Dell Studio 1555 laptop will not wirelessly connect with my FioS router though available WiFi networks are shown. This is a sudden development, having previously worked. Other wireless devices are working well off the same router. (Using router now via Ethernet cable). Laptop network diagnostics state there is a Network Adapter issue. I am running Windows 10, and the Network Diagnostic utility has tested and reset the network connection to no avail. The Intel download assistant/diagnostic agent tested the device and stated it is working properly. The Intel site states support is no longer provided for my wireless network adapter - the Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN (hence this outreach to this esteemed community). I have scanned the computer for errors, and rebooted. I have rebooted the router. All my drivers are said to be updated. I have removed the router from list of available connectivity options and re-entered the key/password. This is confounding! Would love to get a solution. Thanks in advance for your time and inputs.


Technically this means Intel made false claims over functionality which today the adapter can achieve. With modern 802,11ac infrastructure the 5100 AGN can get a 54 megabit 802,11g connection at 2,.4 GHz and 802.11a at 5 GHz.


It's also very important to make sure to operate on a supported operating system using the latest drivers, link on earlier response. Relying on Windows* inbox drivers for these adapters is not recommendable.
