How to install internet driver on linux ubuntu from disk?

Question

ubuntu

I have a disk from a tp-link network adapter that has a driver for linux, I have a linux ubuntu driver that I need from this TF-3200 disk, how can I install it?

Answer 1

1. Insert a disc;
2. Mount the drive;
3. Find the driver on the disk;
4. Read the installation instructions;
5. Repeat step 4 until you understand the installation instructions;
6. Install the driver.
It can be even simpler:
1. Install a normal desktop OS, where there will be no such stupid problems.

Answer 2

If there is no instructions for installing on Linux on the disk, download the archive with the driver from the link https://driver.ru/?H=TF-3200&By=TP-Link&SS=Linux
The archive contains a folder with files for installation on each OS, etc. h. on Linux - "LinuxDriver", it contains a file with installation instructions - "readme.txt"

Answer 3

"name, sister, say the name" of the driver file?? by name, a lot of things can be revealed.
usually this is an executable archive that needs to be set to executable and run.
and also it would be nice to read the documentation on the disk.

Answer 4

Usually, all open drivers are in the kernel, and the OS.
But tp-link can use proprietary ones that also require downloadable code.
Depends on which one is on the device.
Often it's realtek or broadcom...

Answer 5

If there is an installation script on the disk, run it through the terminal (You may need to allow the file to be executed as a program ), otherwise, look for instructions on this disk and make sure it is supported by your system.
