Here is my situation and the steps that I have followed so far. I have installed Fedora 40 and applied all of the current updates. I have a Panda Wireless AC600 PAU0A that works “plug and play”, but it is slow. I would like to install my faster TP-Link T9UH USB wifi adapter and have it work with Fedora 40, but I am not having much success.
I have tried the following commands:
sudo dnf update [this completed successful]
sudo dnf reboot [No such command: reboot]
sudo dnf install kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms git [this appeared to be successful]
sudo git clone GitHub - aircrack-ng/rtl8814au: Realtek rtl8814au driver[this worked]
cd rtl8814au [went to rtl8814 directory]
make [This gives errors]
the next steps that I was going to try if make was successful was:
I tried the online driver and it just was not working for me. I deleted all of the downloaded files, started fresh and just used the original CD that came with the unit. So here is what I did.
I copied the .zip file off of the original CD to my Home directory.
I unzipped the .zip file and extracted to the Home directory.
Then I opened the terminal and typed the following:
at this point I opened the Home folder, then I right-clicked the folder “8814au” and clicked “Open In Terminal” option. Once terminal was open I typed:
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo ./install-driver.sh
after completion, it gave me the option to edit a file…I declined because I don’t really know what I’m doing anyway. I rebooted and the TP-LINK T9UH usb wifi adapter works. It is a lot faster than my Panda wireless adapter.
The version of the TP-LINK T9UH that I have is version 1. On the manufacturer’s website I noticed that two driver versions are available: V1 and V2. I used V1.
