<< < (2/2)

Hi Rich
Thanks that is useful info. (you did mention 2 chipsets)
I was going by what works with all of my older TPLink USB devices using the older chipset.

retro_bread probably has a newer TPLink device so yes ...
firmware-atheros.tcz

Camila89:
TL-WN722N only works if it's v1 – all the others have Realtek and not Atheros. You need firmware-atheros.tcz and wireless-KERNEL.tcz. Driver ath9k_htc is needed. After installation do modprobe ath9k_htc manually.

Mine only became functional after I downloaded htc_9271.fw and pasted to /lib/firmware. dmesg is useful – indicates missing firmware or not driver loaded. Without that, wifi-manager does not detect anything.:)
