Tp-link tp-wn823n

[peterla]

Hi,

first of all I'm quite new to Linux in general (and old too), so please me kind :-)
My TP Link TP-WN-823 doesnt really work, here my explanations:

It is a wireless card and plugged in.

Running in VirtualBox, the USB stick is attached to the VM (and gets removed from windows, when I start my VM)

If you need more information from the next step of the article please tell me.

Kind regards,

You can update usb ids database by running update-usbids

I figured it was the version 2 of the card: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN823N_v2 and it should be supported by rtl8xxxu: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/...rivers/rtl819x

What does lsmod shows?

What does dmesg says when you plug it? First clear dmesg (dmesg -c), then plug the card and run dmesg again. That output is what we need.

Hi,
thank you for your help
