Support for TL-WN725N v2 wi-fi nano dongle #25

A week ago, I bought it and was very upset when I realized that it is not supported by original firmware. Yesterday I succesfully finished the implementation of support for this dongle. The question is: how can I reflect what I did to achieve the result?

Did you have to make changes to the source code to make it work? What were the steps?

Hello Xander!

Generally, I was guided by instructions published here: https://wiki.qut.edu.au/display/cyphy/EV3+Build+Environment+and+Compilation https://wiki.qut.edu.au/display/cyphy/EV3+EDIMAX+EW-7811Un

They was very usefull for me, because this is my very first attempt to start knowning linux at all. And, of course, I found proper driver package for rtl8188ues chip used in TL-WN725N v2 here: http://lazyzhu.com/file/RTL8188EUS_RTL8189ES_linux_v4.1.8_9499.20131104.zip

Not all during the process was clear and without sharp corners, but I have succesfully goes to the finish line.

And please, do not hesitate to disturb me by additional questions.

With best regards, Pavel.
