TP-Link AC600 Driver installation failed

[emmiller]

Hello,

I recently bought an TP-Link AC600 T2U Plus WIFI adapter.
I followed the instruction at https://ostechnix.com/install-tp-lin...pter-in-linux/ to install the driver.

But at the last step:

 sudo make dkms_install

I'm receiving an error message:

mkdir -p /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025
cp -r * /usr/src/8812au-5.6.4.2_35491.20191025

Please help!

The kernel in openSUSE are not the kernel as it seems, kernel 5.3 in Leap 15.3 is a backported kernel 5.9, so it can be, that you have to patch the sources.

But I have build many kmps in my Repo.
So please post with the TP-Link in the USB:

lsusb

uname -a

I can say, which driver is for your Wifi.

[Sauerland]

{USB_DEVICE(0x2357, 0x011F),.driver_info = RTL8821}, /* TP-Link - Archer AC600 T2U Nano */

Maybe its this one?

Many thanks!

Install:
https://download.opensuse.org/reposi...5.1.x86_64.rpm

After reboot and working Wlan, add this Repo because of the updated kernel with following command:

zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Sauerland:/hardware/openSUSE_Leap_15.3_Update/ Sauerland-Update

Update your System by

zypper up

And see, if you get a newer rtl8812au.......

Received

rtl8812AU_8821AU-kmp-default-20200731_k5.3.18_59.19-lp153.5.1

With which command can we check the integrity of the installation?

Best wishes!

post:

uname -a

zypper se -si kernel rtl8812au

You must not quote this, you can do this with one Code-Tag:

stephan@linux64:~> uname -a
Linux linux64 5.13.11-lp153.5.g8c13a2d-default #1 SMP Mon Aug 16 05:23:16 UTC 2021 (8c13a2d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ever the whole commandline and the whole line after the output......

I hope everything shows right now.

[Sauerland]

Now all is working, you can delete this:

i+ | rtl8812AU_8821AU-kmp-default     | package | 20200731_k5.3.18_57-lp153.5.1    | x86_64 | (System Packages)

And your package will be automatically updated if a new kernel is delivered.

How do you do this?
I could not find my way around in Yast.
