OK, first you want make then sudo make install. This should be all that is needed, make clean cleans the build directory so you can build cleanly, this shouldn't need to be done on a newly extracted zip

phoenix

I extracted the file from the compressed file again

How to fix this error
"NO SKRC,we will use default KSRC"

phoenix

Please help me

Justin

phoenix We aren't machines, we're not always refreshing the forums to see new posts. Patience is appreciated. It appears from the output that there is an issue with the driver's code. I would suggest reporting the bug where you downloaded the driver from.

phoenix Have you tried googling for your issue? There are alot of subjects regarding "NO SKRC,we will use default KSRC".

You should try finding a newer version of the rtl8192eu drivers.
For info, you'll have to rebuild them everytime the kernel is updated.

phoenix Solus doesn't support DKMS, sorry...

Justin

OK, I downloaded that zip file but no matter how I extract it, it fails. file-roller and unzip tell me it's borked. Fairly certain the archive is corrupt. I'd suggest reaching out to TP-Link support for them to correct this issue.

Justin I downloaded this link
https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/soft/TL-WN821N%28US%29_V5_160315_Linux.zip
And extracted without problems
It is possible for me to introduce a solution to this problem
I bought this device recently
And with this, it's not possible to use it

Justin

phoenix After messing about with the zip file and just extracting the driver folder contents I can attempt to compile it. It still fails, there is errors in their code that likely means it hasn't been updated for newer kernels.
