Hello
I got the TL-WN822N Wireless USB Adapter. The problem is that I have to compile the driver from the tp-link site http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/TL-WN822N.html
In the installation instructions see ( https://1drv.ms/b/s!ArfsIIS9Q02JslrmSJAwopAwrQOS )
they say
Quote:
2. Before compile, make sure the parameters in “makefile.c” is suitable for your
compile environment of your Linux system.
ifeq ($(CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC), y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN
SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/)
ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
CROSS_COMPILE ?=
KVER := $(shell uname -r)
KSRC := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/build
MODDESTDIR := /lib/modules/$(KVER)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
INSTALL_PREFIX :=
endif
Explanation:
KSRC is used to specify the kernel source path for driver compilation.
CROSS_COMPILE is used to specify the toolchain.
ARCH is used to specify the target platform's CPU architectures such as arm, mips,
i386 and so on.
This is the first time to compile anything in debian and I have no idea about the correct parameters.
Any idea?
Thank you |

| This should already be supported by the kernel via the existing rtl8xxxu module, firmware-realtek will be needed. The vendor driver is not recommended and most likely won't build either (as, according to the download page, was last updated for kernel 3.10). |

Thank you slh
Unfortunately the device is Ver 4

the firmware-realtek is installed and from the net I found the correct driver is rtl8192eu
but
Quote:
# modprobe rtl8192eu
modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8192eu not found in directory /lib/modules/4.8.0-12.slh.1-aptosid-amd64

Thank you slh but it does not load the driver
Code:

modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8192eu not found in directory /lib/modules/4.8.0-12.slh.2.1-aptosid-amd64
It was a mistake to get that device.
I will try to return it back and get one with atheros chipset.
It is very unlikely to accept back an open box, but at least it does not cost a fortune. |

Again, your driver is not rtl8192eu (and it will never be, there is no chance of that vendor driver to ever get close to the mainline kernel), the rtl8192eu chipset family is supposed to get supported by rtl8xxxu.
Code:
$ /sbin/modinfo rtl8xxxu
filename: /lib/modules/4.8.0-12.slh.2.1-aptosid-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu.ko
firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8723bu_bt.bin
firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8723bu_nic.bin
firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_nic.bin

firmware: rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw_B.bin

| rtl8192eu support in rtl8xxxu is still rather new (and still being improved), so I can't really judge its state at this moment. |

Thank you for the help slh
I apologize for my misunderstanding. I thought the xxx part in rtl8xxxu was an indication for me to find the correct numbers  
Anyway rtl8xxxu loads now but it can't find any wifi network
Probably it's not ready for my device yet, or I have done something wrong in the setup
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf I blacklisted ath9k . That is the driver for the other device I use
in vi /etc/modules I added rtl8xxxu
in ceni I can see the device (wlx98ded008b53f) but it can't see my wifi router. |

Yes, the module name can be quite misleading (on the other hand it does already cover multiple Realtek USB wlan chipsets, support for rtl8192eu being the latest addition).
With the test kernel 4.8.0-12.slh.2.1-aptosid-amd64, it should load automatically, without you having to load it explicitly. What are the initialisation messages for it in dmesg?
I general, linux driver support for Realtek wlan, in particular for USB wlan (which is produced by Reasil, a different Realtek subsidiary than the one developing their PCI(e) counterparts), is pretty dire - but they've pretty much swamped the aftermarket with devices and squeezed out the more traditional vendors. |

Now I can understand that the name is correct because it supports many different usb devices
The output of dmesag for the rtl8xxxu is:

With the following command
Code:
dmesg | grep iwl; lsmod | grep iwl; lshw -c net
I get

Therefore, i suppose I need the firmware. |

I'm only concentrating on your rtl8192eu device here, as -to the best of my knowledge- your ath9k_htc based one is fine (at least mine is), please speak up if I missed anything.
Basically the inititalization messages, albeit a bit chatty (rtl8xxxu still has the verbosity levels cranked up for debugging), are looking quite normal. After "ip link set wlx98ded008b53f up", scanning (iw dev wlx98ded008b53f scan") should (famous last words) work and it should be able to associate. The required firmware is /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192eu_nic.bin, provided by "firmware-realtek", but this also seems to have been loaded fine.
Meanwhile I've uploaded kernel 4.9, plus some further updates for rtl8xxxu, corresponding to the most current development state of this driver, as there have been quite some changes targetting the rtl8192eu chipset family in particular. Please give that a test, as I personally don't have any devices covered by the rtl8xxxu around. |

Great to hear, so your initial problems (before you edited your post) are resolved?
In general Ceni isn't a good tool for debugging, it still does the job for setting up a connection, but when it comes to problems, you want to orchestrate the lower level tools directly (ifup/ ifdown, wpa_cli, wpa_action, iw). |

yes, I resolved the problems using lower level tools.
indeed, ceni was not very informative.
To be honest, I tried so many different things that I am not quite sure what is the right combination that actually solved the problem.
