#TP LINK WIFI ADAPTER DRIVER INSTALL#

CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = nĬhange it to: CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y Build and Install Driver from Source You can find following line: CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = yĬhange it to: CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n You will see Makefile within driver source directory you just cloned above. We have to change that, to build the driver for Raspberry Pi. git clone -branch realtek-4.4.x Target Raspberry Piīy default the building process will target desktop systems. However it worked for my Raspbian having kernel version 4.9.35. We have to clone realtek-4.4.x branch, which is for Linux kernel 4.4. The driver source seems like for D-Link DWA-131, which is having same chipset, rtl8192eu, as my TP-Link TL-WN823N v2. Get the driver source files hosted at github repo. sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers dkms Get Driver Source For me it required only to install kernel header files as shown below. I used latest Raspbian Jessie released on 5th of July 2017. mkdir drivers & cd drivers Install Prerequisites Finally I could find a way to install driver after searching further and trying many methods.įirst, create directory to keep the driver source files in a common place if you don’t have it already. I could see many postings around installing driver for Raspberry Pi but most of them were outdated and did not work for me.

I searched over Internet for driver installation. Then I tried to make it work on my Raspberry Pi 2 model B. However, I could easily find driver over Googling and it worked fine. The driver available at TP-Link website could not be installed because it was for older version of kernel. It did not get detected out of box when plugged into my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04. I chose TP-Link TL-WN823N over Edimax EW-7811Un because of its 300 Mbps speed, both were available on amazon.in with similar price.

Mine is Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, so not having built in wireless capability. Recently I brought TP-Link TL-WN823N wireless USB adapter to connect my Raspberry Pi over wireless network.
