RTL8192EU - TP-LINK TL-WN822N wireless adapter not working

I installed Garuda Linux and tried to connect to wifi . After several minutes of waiting i got a notification <Wireless Interface (wlp0s20f0u1)
The WiFi network could not be found >
My wireless adapter: TP-Link TL-WN822N Version 4 RTL8192EU
Is there any solution ?

Just download the snapshot and see what happens :wink:

I installed it , rebooted and nothing changed

I'm sorry, I can't help you, as I am unfamiliar with W-LAN problems and never had to deal with them.
You have to wait for someone competent to take care of your problem.
Have you already scoured the forum and Archwiki?

yes, i did

Good job. Now you're going to have to wait for more expert users - they'll be along, so be patient. :slightly_smiling_face:

You have given an expert’s advice, so you tend to becoming an expert :wink:

An expert is one that knows what he doesn’t know and is just capable of RTFMing and DDGing
Words of @petsam wisdom :joy:

We are both painfully aware I am that type of 'expert', my friend! :rofl:

Maybe there's something wrong with the commands I used . I'm not an advanced user . Btw after cloning into it I used cd 8192eu-dkms then sudo dkms add . and sudo dkms install

I'm sorry, I am of very limited help. Wait for others. :slightly_smiling_face:

If a crack takes care of your cause, he will most likely ask you for your inxi -Fxxxza output as text. Get ahead of him. :slightly_smiling_face:

Installing AUR packages is done easily with an AUR helper like paru or trizen.
For example

paru 8192eu-dkms

You only need to be a normal user. Without reading any theory or instructions of usage, then you will learn from your mistakes. That’s the ultimate rule.
You have to decide how you will go :wink:

You should always post your specs on a wifi help request first thing. Your manufacturers model number is irrelevant as they can change the wifi chip used inside without any notice. What is always required is your wifi's chip ID,.

Please post:

inxi -Fxxxza

Post this even if your issue is resolved for others benefit.

Be sure to disable MAC Address randomization. After doing so reboot both your computer and router.

And as @petsam has already mentioned, do not git clone the driver, use an AUR helper such as he listed or yay or pamac to install the driver.

This command should work without the need to install a separate AUR helper:

pamac build 8192eu-dkms

Only install this driver if it corresponds to the chip ID returned from the inxi command. This model from tp-link has also used the RTL8192CU chip in the past (so be sure to check and provide your chip ID). You must install the correct driver corresponding to the chip ID from the AUR.

If your wifi still doesn't work on your current kernel after installing the driver then install and test the linux-lts kernel.

How can I do that?

This is not a common term that can be easily misinterpreted by a search engine. Users incapable of inputing a suggestion into a search engine and performing a rudimentary search for themselves may be suffering from overinflated expectations and an underwhelming level of self motivation.

I already provided a very large amount of information for you on my last post. Are you not capable of searching for directions yourself. If not, perhaps Garuda is not for you, as we do not believe in spoon feeding users the answer for every question. Users are expected to do some research for themselves.

I did a research before and I spent a large amount of time . That's why i asked for help , but ok . I'll try to be a less spoon feeding user next time or probably use a beginner distro again . Thanks for replying to my problem !

Glad you figured it out, but if you couldn't find that info you need to brush up on your search skills. There is no shortage of info on this topic.

A Google search will provide more hits than I care to count:

Arch Linux disable MAC Address randomization - Google Search..

Even the Garuda forum in its short existence has many hits for this term as it is a frequent suggestion and solution:

https://forum.garudalinux.org/search?context=topic&context_id=7056&q=Disable%20MAC%20Address%20randomization%20&skip_context=true

This solution is so common it is even baked right into the Garuda Network Assistant by default. You can simply toggle MAC randomization on/off through that utility if you want.

I don't go out of my way to be mean, but it can get very frustrating when an easily searched issue is required to be repeated constantly.

Glad you found your answer, and welcome to Garuda.
