I successfully compiled and load driver of tp link t2u ac600 in linux mint 19 tara. bellow are steps
disconnect the dongle, you need the temporary internet connection, which i got it form my mobile usb tethering, then run these command in to your terminals one by one.

sudo dkms add mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes

Then check EFI Secure Boot status with

Code: Select all

mokutil --sb-state

Any response other than Secure Boot is enabled should be good

Sorry my bad English, I'm from Brazil..!!

I could not do with this method.

I managed with the method below:
https://github.com/ivannieto/archer-t2u ... -installer

##You should have python3 installed. If you not, type:
sudo apt install python3

##You should have git installed. If you not, type:
sudo apt install git

bash
$ git clone https://github.com/ivannieto/archer-t2u ... taller.git
$ cd archer-t2u-ubuntu-installer/ && python3 t2u-driver-installer.py

##Restart your computer when the installation is finished

##Once you had restarted, you can enable or disable the driver. Plug your USB dongle and run:

bash
$ sudo t2u-driver
## e = Enable
## d = Disable

##To uninstall t2u-driver type:

bash
$ sudo uninstall-t2u-driver

What is your kernel version..??

[m3318]

kernel version is 4.15.0-20-generic

[zerocoolroot]

kernel version is 4.15.0-20-generic

My kernel is the same, but I could not..!!

Could you detail the method used..??

Automatically recognizes..??

Need reboot..??

[m3318]

disconnect the adapter, you need the temporary internet connection, which i got it form my mobile usb tethering, then run these command in to your terminals one by one (don't disconnect internet), after the reboot reconnect the adapter. if you don't have temporary internet connection then it is useless for you.

I got it. The adapter found the 2.4GHz Network, but did not find the 5GHz Network. Do you know why..??

The 2.4GHz Network signal is low..!!

If that github actually does work, better instructions would be

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/xtknight/mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes.git
sudo dkms add mt7610u-linksys-ae6000-wifi-fixes

Then check EFI Secure Boot status with

mokutil --sb-state

Any response other than Secure Boot is enabled should be good

This approach was quick and worked a treat on Linux Mint 19 (Cinnamon) on a AMD 2600-based system. Already had git installed as well as dkms build-essentials. No EFI to be concerned with.

Thank you for sharing this approach!

I'm having a nightmare getting my T2U working. I've tried about fifty different drivers and ways of setting it up, and nothing has been successful. I'm wondering if it's because there's four different versions of the dongle (with four different chipsets)? Mine's V2, so what is the version for those people who made it work? Mine's showing as hardware ID xxxx:011e if that helps?

I'm running Mint/Cinnamon. I've tried the different kernel options, but I'm currently on 4.20. My system doesn't have SecureBoot functionality.

I'm pretty close to just binning it now - I've got a 2.4 dongle that's working fine, so I'll just have to live with that...

[JeremyB]

If you have removed the code that has failed, see if https://github.com/jeremyb31/mt7610u.git works as I just made a change to include that ID 2357:011e?

[endersondesign]

Awesome, thanks! I'll give it a try when I'm back at my PC later
