Tp-Link TL-WN822N V5 [6/19] Compile the driver

According to the command “cat /proc/version”, you could see your Mint system is

compiled by gcc5.4.0, so we should use gcc5.4.0 to compile the driver.

Generally, compatible kernel headers are already built in Mint, so you don’t need to

separately download and compile the kernel sources. However, if no related kernel

headers are integrated in your system, please install the kernel sources first.

2.2. Compile the Driver

Use Terminal to go to the driver directory and run the following commands to compile the

driver.

$ make clean

$ make

After compiling, you can see a name of the chip.ko file is stored in the directory of the

driver.

3. Load the Driver

Here we show the 88x2bu.ko wireless driver loading process as an example. Run the

following command to load the driver.

$ sudo cp 88x2bu.ko /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

$ sudo depmod -a

$ sudo modprobe 88x2bu

Or directly use insmod to load the driver.

$ sudo insmod 88x2bu.ko

After loading the driver, run the following command to check if the driver is successfully

loaded.

$ lsmod
