Linux noob here. Fresh installed Ubuntu 20.04. Trying to get my wireless adapter to work (https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/download/archer-t2uhp/#Driver).

I tried tons of suggestions found online but none worked, I'm sorry i didn't document them all but a few i did: One of the last thing i found was https://www.myria.de/computer/1308-tp-link-archer-t2u-ac600-unter-linux-nutzen , which if google translator doesn't let me down, says driver should be included in kernel 5.0? although I'm not sure how that works.

I also found Problems configuring my usb ac051 wifi adapter, but after running "sudo dkms install mt7610u/1" (in the last part of the answer) i get.

Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all KVER=5.8.0-38-generic...(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for mt7610u: 1 not found
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.8.0-38-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/mt7610u/1/build/make.log for more information.

thanks

after running as suggested by jeremy sudo sed -i 's/0105/010b/' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x0/mt76x0u.ko

sudo depmod -a

seba@Loldserv:~/src$ sudo sed -i 's/0105/010b/' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x0/mt76x0u.ko
seba@Loldserv:~/src$ sudo depmod -a

there was no feedback in console and the last command seems to be waiting for another imput. Anyway i tried again the steps in his other post i cited but keep getting the error thats up here.

also checked make.log, content below, not sure if i sould run what is says there,or where to run it.

A quick hack of a fix is

sudo sed -i 's/0105/010b/' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt76x0/mt76x0u.ko
sudo depmod -a

Reboot

This will replace an existing entry in the module alias file

For now do sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) Reboot then try sudo modprobe mt76x0u then do echo 2357 010b | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt76x0u/new_id See if it works

Lets try a udev rule

sudo touch /etc/udev/rules.d/98-wifi.rules
gedit admin:///etc/udev/rules.d/98-wifi.rules

Paste this into the file

ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="2357", ATTRS{idProduct}=="010b", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe mt76x0u" RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 2357 010b > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt76x0u/new_id'"

Reboot and see if it works
