WiFi issue with Tp-link TL WN722N v2

[TheOldPresbyope]

It's important that the OP do the check you propose to confirm the following, but FYI

From an earlier post

Code:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2357:010c TP-Link TL-WN722N v2

Looking at /lib/modules/4.19.115-v8+/modules.alias, I see

Code:

alias usb:v2357p010Cd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* r8188eu

I see firmware for this chipset in /lib/firmware/wifi

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  13904 Oct 30  2019 rtl8188eufw.bin

but I didn't find a corresponding kernel driver.

A quick check of the InterWeb™ shows lots of people crash onto the rock of RaspbianLite missing (e.g., not supporting) the driver for this old Realtek chipset.

See MrEngman's post on the Raspberry Pi Forum. He's been creating Raspbian drivers for this chipset for some years now, based on lwfinger's source code.
