I use Linux Mint 20.1 and am trying to properly install USB WiFi device TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2
I first installed driver R8188eu following instructions from
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
Also this driver was recommended on following link
http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN722N_v2
Then I followed first Answer from the topic
and tried to instead install driver 8812au
Now when I type
sudo dkms status
I get
rtl8812au, 5.9.3.2, 5.4.0-77-generic, x86_64: installed
as it should be the case
but when I type
inxi -Fxxxz
I get regarding the mentioned device
Device-3: TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 type: USB driver: r8188eu bus ID: 1-8:8 chip ID: 2357:010c serial: IF: wlxd037454c08ee state: down mac: IF-ID-1: tun0 state: unknown speed: 10 Mbps duplex: full mac: N/A
So it's not the same USB driver as I get with dkms status
I have no idea how to change this, as I have uninstalled the first driver, than installed the new one but to no avail.
Operationally wise I can connect to existing wifi network, but I cannot use my wifi adapter to create a hotspot.
Any idea what should be done?
