I'm new here using ubuntu and I installed 14.04 LTS. I'm trying to install a driver of TF-3200 TP-LINK and unfortunately I can't figure how to do it. I've search all over the internet and also refer to the CD of TP-LINK.

Check this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166743. You can download the drivers here: http://www.tp-link.us/products/details/?categoryid=&model=TF-3200#down

1- I extracted all the files from the zip and browsed the directory:

user1@host1:~/Downloads$ cd TF-3200_100628/
user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628$ ls
LinuxDriver       Windowns 7 64bit  Windows ME           Windows XP_2003
Novell Netware    Windows 2000      Windows Vista 32bit  Windows XP 64bit
Windowns 7 32bit  Windows 98SE      Windows Vista 64bit

user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628$ cd LinuxDriver/

user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628/LinuxDriver$ ls
compat.h  ethtool.h  mii.c  readme.txt
crc32.h   Makefile   mii.h  sundance_main.c

2- Loaded the kernel module drivers:

user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628/LinuxDriver$ sudo modprobe mii; sudo modprobe sundance;

3- Verify how if it loaded correctly; I have no card, so I'm not able to see it in dmesg. You should, though.

user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628/LinuxDriver$ dmesg | grep -i eth | tail

Same in ip link details:

user1@host1:~/Downloads/TF-3200_100628/LinuxDriver$ ip link show

  • I already tried this one but I can't find the exact installation of the driver. it's not like in windows that you can click the driver installer or browse it. I tried all the terminal commands here but unfortunately nothing works.

  • I tried to run the procedure as mentioned in xaie.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/tp-link-tf-3200-on-debian; Apparently no error. I edited my answer with the procedure I used. what’s the result of ifconfig and route? also, what do you have defined in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf.
