    Angry TP-link TL-WN422G Problem

    Hi have posted this issue on this section http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...12#post9243312 but nobody help me so I am trying to post the issue here.


    I was trying to use the TP-link TL-WN422G in my ubuntu OS, the problem is that when I insert it I don't have a response from the usb wireless card. Any way to the usb card work on ubuntu?

    Okay, here's one thing to try:
    Download this file to cour Desktop: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...d2acb7;hb=HEAD

    then open up a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step)

    cd Desktop
    sudo mv ar9271.fw /lib/firmware

    reboot and see whether it works. Be sure to unplug your device and plug it in again after rebooting.

    If it doesn't, follow these steps:

    Download this file to your desktop: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/...ss-2.6.tar.bz2
    Then open a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step):
    cd Desktop
    tar xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
    cd compat-wireless-2.6
    ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
    make && sudo make install

    after that reboot.

    Yes it does, I marked it in bold. However you'll need updated drivers and (new) firmware to get it to work. Just follow my instructions above and you should be fine.

    I was wrong, It is my usb ... I unplug it from the computer and if I run lsusb again I will not see the atheros again. I will do what you said to me and see if it works.

    you can see what you have built in by using lspci - lsusb unly polls - as the name suggests - the usb ports
