    17.04 can't connect to wifi using TL-WD8200ND v1.1 usb adapter

    Hi,

    Searched all over the place and couldn't find an answer for this.

    I have a TP-LINK wireless adapter that i use to connect to my router. When i plug it, Ubuntu recognize it, it shows me the available networks but when i try to connect it fails.
    I can connect to WiFi i'm using a different WiFi adapter a borrowed from a friend. It seems the issue is with this specific card.

    I already did https://askubuntu.com/questions/9029.../905019#905019 so again, its working but not for the TL-WD8200ND card.

    i tried installing windows drivers with ndiswrapper 1.61 latest version but no change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW_Q9izVYBA

    The same problem happen in other Ubuntu based distros such as Elementary, Mint. I also tried Ubuntu budgie 16.04 and no luck.

    I did the wireless script as mentoined here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108

    so here is the paste bin http://paste.ubuntu.com/25174818/

    I also didn't find that my card is supported in Ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link#USB
    I was wondering is there a workaround/ fix ?

    Any help is kindly appreciated,
