I am attempting to install a driver for the TPLink AC600 under Ubuntu 16.04 as outlined in the Answer at this link:

TP-Link T2U (AC600) usb WLAN adapter driver on Ubuntu 16.10

When running the make command, I get one warning that the frame size of 2040 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes, but no errors.

When I attempt to run the insmod command I get the following error message:

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module mt7610u.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Can anyone help me with this please?

Following are additional items as requested by chili555:

After installing the other driver listed in comments:

kevin@miner01:~$ iwconfig
enp0s31f6  no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

ra0       Ralink STA

This driver would not automatically connect on reboot. If I restarted the network manager using sudo service network-manager restart then the wireless adapter supposedly connected shortly afterward, but any attempt to actually use the connection failed.

Upgrading kernel to version 5.0.5 the adapter will work without any third part driver installation.

Here are the steps:

First of all: make backup of all your system and files.

Open a terminal and do the following commands:

wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-headers-5.0.5-050005_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_all.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-headers-5.0.5-050005-generic_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-headers-5.0.5-050005-lowlatency_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-image-unsigned-5.0.5-050005-generic_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-image-unsigned-5.0.5-050005-lowlatency_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-modules-5.0.5-050005-generic_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb \\ https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.0.5/linux-modules-5.0.5-050005-lowlatency_5.0.5-050005.201903271212_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i  linux-headers-5.0.5-050005*.deb  linux-image-unsigned-5.0.5*.deb  linux-modules-5.0.5-050005*.deb

After installation:

sudo reboot
uname -a

Tested on Xubuntu 19.04
