Bug Description
TP-Link Archer T2UH, AC600, version 1
After plugging in the WiFi-Stick, nothing happens on Ubuntu(while on Windows 10 I was immediately able to connect).
So searching on the web I found some kind of "solution", which it not really working well.
on various Forums I found the links to the following drivers:
https:/
https:/
From which the first works well on Debian, but fail to compile on ubuntu.
And the second one works on ubuntu, but makes the network manager laggin, and won't let me reconnect after some random disconnects, until I restart the NetworkManager.That happens quite often. Plugging it out and back in, also requires "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager" to reconnect. To compile this, I had to manually copy-paste the git, cause the readme description seemed to be referring to another package.
Also, I don't know how secure these drivers are.
There is also a driver from TP-Link, which is too old and doesnt work with newer kernels.
Mediatek also has driver, but i didnt know how to build them.
Before launching "ubuntu-bug" i unplugged and replugged the WiFi-Stick (thus showing "no networks") and im connected to the internet through another (built-in) device.
For the TP-Link T2UH the lsusb will show:
Bus 003 Device 012: ID 148f:761a Ralink Technology, Corp.
while disconnected the "ip a" will show:
9: ra0: <BROADCAST,
link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
lsb_release -rd shows:
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
Not sure if this is a bug of the Network Manager, or just a missing feature. Maybe it would be good to have a driver for it from the repository. Or to somehow integrate the chip-support into the system.
Thank you.
