Hi there.

I followed the instructions in the readme and everything seemed to install without a hitch. However, there is still no wifi options coming up. Please advise

Thanks for all the work you've done on this project!

There may be some helpful information in these existing issues about 16.04

D4RKONION commented 7 years ago

I had read those alright, didn't see anything matching my own issues. One person mentions enabling wifi in the network manager, but I'm seeing no option like that. Might be worth saying that the computer in question has no wifi card to start with.

Same problem

jeremyb31 commented 7 years ago

Some of the TL-WN823N's do not use the rtl8192cu chipset. If lsusb results show ID 2357:0107, 2357:0108, or 2357:0109 you should use https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver as these are rtl8192eu chipsets

@robertholding , It (https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver ) worked for me without a problem with TP-LINK TL-WN823N V2 WiFi adapter running on KDE neon 4.9.2 (based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) Kernel 4.8.

Try to use the instructions on the github page https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver . It must work.
