To do this, you need to load the corresponding kernel module with the modprobe /sdcard/tp-link.ko command, the
module must be built specifically for your kernel version, otherwise it will not load. You can find out the version by opening the /proc/version virtual file.
Then the system will detect the usb device as a wlan1 network card - android will most likely use wlan0 for its actions, so the built-in one needs to be disabled. Or you will have to install third-party software to work with it (you can also from the console)
