HELP ME PLZ!!!!!! WIFI PROBLEM! tp-link TL-WN8200ND
by Cybernetic from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SP71)
Hello to all to smart people here.I decided to transition to Linux once and for all but i have a huge problem with this shity tp-link wifi usb adapter that was made for windows... :( The model is :x tp-link TL-WN8200ND version 1 ( cuz i checked it in the back and says v1)..
So for 5 days now used a live usb inux mint .. I did followed the really helpful guide on how to check the hash for iso in windows machines kudos to the writer for that! And after searching google and various forums i used some console commands that usually are post to forums to help diagnose the problem.
The problem.
When i run my live xfce linux mint edition the os sees the wifi card cuz i can see other wifi's (access points) around me plus my own home network so i put my password, tries to connect but disconnects!!! I did went to network manager thing and edit the wifi options in the security tab from ' all users' to single user and visa versa but no good... I also did noticed that the version doesn't has wine preinstalled... I did went and download the windows drivers for my wifi usb adaptor and my motherboards drivers but without wine i cant use them ..plus i do not know if i do need to use the mobos drivers.. I do have though my tp-shityLink cd that has the windows drivers if that matters...
I am really frustrated :x :x cuz i do want to transition to linux and for me to run linux internet connection is a must ! I do hope a network admin or a linux master user can see my problem and help me cuz im newbie ..
P.s: I did dabbled with linux some years ago but i fucked up my bootloader back then,i think i solo installed slackware distro without help and i did managed to get it running rofl but after that when i wanted to put windows on so i can play games i couldn't and i had to run to a technician to fix this problem..So if i manage to get access to my wifi network what is the proper installment of linux so i wont fck up my windows boot loader ( i might be wrong here plz do correct me )
Also i want to mention here that ethernet cable is out of the question cuz my houses power supply design was made by an ape who had hemorrhoids :x so there is no use for me to buy a cable...Imagine my router is to another room !!! I can only use wifi and i do not have a new cellphone so i use an old nokia so even if i do install linux on my pc i cant use internet without my wifi usb adapter!!!! :( :( :( :( :(
P.s2/ I re-post here cuz i went to linux mint forums but there seems to be a huge problem there and it has a huge lag problem loading page etc problems.. So i came here to post ty all again
I thank you all and everyone before hand who willing to help a newbie like me!!!!!
So here i will post the commands i used and ofc it has my systems info and the logs..

i continue to a reposst of my original post cuz my post is too long
So for 5 days now used a live usb inux mint .. I did followed the really helpful guide on how to check the hash for iso in windows machines kudos to the writer for that! And after searching google and various forums i used some console commands that usually are post to forums to help diagnose the problem.
The problem.
When i run my live xfce linux mint edition the os sees the wifi card cuz i can see other wifi's (access points) around me plus my own home network so i put my password, tries to connect but disconnects!!! I did went to network manager thing and edit the wifi options in the security tab from ' all users' to single user and visa versa but no good... I also did noticed that the version doesn't has wine preinstalled... I did went and download the windows drivers for my wifi usb adaptor and my motherboards drivers but without wine i cant use them ..plus i do not know if i do need to use the mobos drivers.. I do have though my tp-shityLink cd that has the windows drivers if that matters...
I am really frustrated :x :x cuz i do want to transition to linux and for me to run linux internet connection is a must ! I do hope a network admin or a linux master user can see my problem and help me cuz im newbie ..
P.s: I did dabbled with linux some years ago but i fucked up my bootloader back then,i think i solo installed slackware distro without help and i did managed to get it running rofl but after that when i wanted to put windows on so i can play games i couldn't and i had to run to a technician to fix this problem..So if i manage to get access to my wifi network what is the proper installment of linux so i wont fck up my windows boot loader ( i might be wrong here plz do correct me )
Also i want to mention here that ethernet cable is out of the question cuz my houses power supply design was made by an ape who had hemorrhoids :x so there is no use for me to buy a cable...Imagine my router is to another room !!! I can only use wifi and i do not have a new cellphone so i use an old nokia so even if i do install linux on my pc i cant use internet without my wifi usb adapter!!!! :( :( :( :( :(
P.s2/ I re-post here cuz i went to linux mint forums but there seems to be a huge problem there and it has a huge lag problem loading page etc problems.. So i came here to post ty all again
I thank you all and everyone before hand who willing to help a newbie like me!!!!!
So here i will post the commands i used and ofc it has my systems info and the logs..
