@ boof:-
Mm. Looks like you
may have fallen into the classic "trap for the unwary". You've gone and bought something shiny that catches your eye, and you're now trying to
force it to work under Linux. Rarely works.
It all boils down to the chipset in use.....and I cannot find any references to this particular adapter being used under Linux
anywhere. And until we know the chipset, we can't even build you a kernel driver 'module'.....for until we know the chipset's manufacturer, we don't even know which website to visit in order to obtain the source code.
Two things, please?
Is this a v2, or a v3?
If you run
.....in the terminal while the adapter is plugged into a box running Puppy (doesn't matter if the thing's working or not), what output do you get?
That version number is
important, BTW. TP-Link have been known to change chipsets
between different versions of the same item.....
EDIT:- Curiously, TP-Link actually appear to have driver source code for Linux on this item's support page. This is
extremely unusual for them.....but downloading shows it to be using the one version of the Realtek RTL8192 chipset that most current kernels still don't support - the 8192
eu. So it looks as though this could be compiled if necessary, given that the supplied source code is for this specific adapter.
@ boof:- We'll still need that version number, please.
Mike.
