TP-Link Archer T4U (v3) not being recognized when plugged from an USB 3.0 extension cable #56

Hi,

I've installed the driver via the AUR package and my Archer T4U is working fine when plugged directly through the motherboard USB ports (2.0 and 3.0). But when I plug it through a short USB 3.0 extension cable (1.8 mts) connected to any of the motherboard ports, it doesn't get recognized.

Am I missing any additional required package or configuration ? I've tried LAO executing this command modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1, but it seems not to work as well.

My specs: O.s: Manjaro Linux Kernel: 5.4

Thanks for the good work on this project.

It may be that your cable is incompatible or the resistance is too large, resulting in insufficient power supply.

I'm going to test some different devices as well. The cable works with my mouse and keyboard bluetooth dongles. Thanks for the quick response.
