How to compile device drivers for usb wireless internet adaptor TP-LINK ARCHER T9UH
by Faultygaia from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QYZJ)
Hello, sorry if this is a very easily answerable question, but I cant seem to find a solid definitive answer on this subject.
I got the TP-LINK ARCHER T9UH for my dell laptop so I could connect to wireless, however, I need to compile the drivers manually. How would I do that exactly? I downloaded the drivers from their website (Here: (https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/d...d/archer-t9uh/)) and unzipped it in a directory I made to isolate it. This is where I get conflicting answers, some say I have to compile a new kernel, some say I need to just type the make command (I tried that but I got an error stating that the file or directory doesn't exist).
Again, sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I've never really done manual compilation for device drivers before and I would like to get a concrete answer before I try something. Thanks for any answers!
