TP Link WN725N driver for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS running kernel 4.4
2
I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04.3 with kernel version 3.19.0-25-generic and use the TP Link WN725N for Wi-fi.
I followed this guide for the driver installation otherwise I'd get barely any signal:
how to install tp link wn725n wifi usb adapter on ubuntu Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
I installed 16.04 with kernel 4.4 a week ago but the adapter didn't work out of the box so I followed the above method again but it didn't work. I was, like before, barely getting any signal.
Any way to get the drivers working for kernel 4.4?

Are you asking about a USB or an internal PCI adapter? If it is about USB, then post output oflsusb.

FWIW I think the WN725N 0bda:8179 is the rtl8188eu chipset. Out of the box for me, Ubuntu 16.04 is using the r8188eu driver and it seems to work. This post claims that the low signal strength is just a display issue. The device doesn't show up iniw devthough and can't be configured for hostapd. With earlier kernels, I installed from TP-Link's source. But it says it only supports up to 3.19.3.
