Hi all!
Been "trying" Linux since 2002 but the many issues with hardware compatibility kept me not going back, now i have more spare time in my hands and also trying to learn programming so i've decided to give it a serious go.
after using Ubuntu i've decided to try OpenSuse but as usual i'm having issues with wireless connectivity.
I have a TP-LINK TL-WN822N which shows as Realtek 8192cu, during the installation process it was working and was able to log in to the network but after a reboot everything was gone.
My issue is that i can't access a wired connection but i can boot into Ubuntu which has it working.
On both distros i get an error when installing the downloaded driver, i had this fix for Ubuntu (which was kinda working for 2 seconds after every reboot):
sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9
echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
This required a connection which i don't have now, any idea?
Thanks!
