TP Link Tl-WN821N V4.2 Linux Mint 17 64bit

[Breisgau-Schwaben]

Hello,

I have a big problem I cant solve
I bought a AVM Wifi-Stick, tried to install it - didnt get it. I have read that this stick is not the best for Linux so I bought the TP Link. I have read that this one works with "plug and play" - unfortunately it doesnt. I tried to use the setup from CD with wine - but the system doesnt recognize the stick
Could anybody please help me with a noob-friendly tutorial? I have no ethernet cable to go online with that computer which doesnt make it easier.

Greetings from Germany

Ok, I did it like he said, but Step 6 doesnt work.
" usr/srcl/8192cu1.8. does not exist "
What should I do know?
Thanks for helping!

Found another solution:

Vorbereitung
Für 32bit und 64bit:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
Download und Installation
wget https://realtek-8188cus-wireless-driver ... .6_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i rtl8192cu-tjp-dkms_1.6_all.deb
echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Seems to work now....

Good, I was going to suggest backported drivers but if this works it is a better solution as a kernel update won't break it
