How to use Ralink TP-Link AC600 Archer T2U?

#1 Post by xocrom »

Thanks for reading and helping. Been trying to get this TP-Link AC600 model Archer T2U working for a while. Read a lot of mostly older threads to no avail. Loaded the 2800 module which I think is the correct one for this wi-fi dongle but I can't find it in ifconfig. Sorry if this isn't formated correctly, new to the puppy but sure enjoy its speed, looks and ease of use. Running xenialpup 32 latest.

Howdy Mate.

Check the "probable" driver link on the right.

Can you compile or do you think you'll need help?

Thanks Semme for your reply, got the driver and spent some time trying to compile but with no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Howdy xocrom,

Have you loaded the devx for xenial 32-bit?
Its needed for compiling.

File for 32-bit is devx_xenialpup_7.5.sfs

Located at http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-xenial/32/

You also have the kernel sources sfs?
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... xenial.sfs
Have the kernel sources sfs and devx sfs loaded?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.4.95/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
I wonder what would happen if you manually just made this directory. :idea:
/lib/modules/4.4.95/build

That build directory seems to be what it is looking for.

I HATE COMPILING :evil: :!: :!:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
I have no idea what that error is talking about?????

Hopefully someone that understands compiling will be able to help with it. :idea:

There is an option in the network wizard to use a Windows driver to get it working.
Could try that option if you have the needed Windows files.
Network Wizard>Load Module>Ndiswrapper

Howdy xocrom

Try opening a terminal window in the directory you are compiling from (the sources) and issue your make (no guarantee but sometimes works)
