Any other driver implementation in your system will interfere with current drivers , please3 ensure you don't have any other driver not installed !

from tl-wn722n-v2.

whenever I rmmod r8188eu (for some trials I tried to remove 8188eu as well) and then check in iwconfig, the wlan0 disappear. As such, that's meaningless for ifconfig wlan0 down and its subsequent steps...

Even if I re-make your driver, wlan0 is still disappeared. If I reboot the system, it would become the original problematic situation which I listed above...

Any ideas? Thanks.

p.s. I used the 'NOT AS DKMS MODULE' approach. So the 8188eu is from the previous fixes.

from tl-wn722n-v2.

I just uninstalled the previous package, and so now when I reboot, the 8188eu didn't show up, and only the r8188eu showed up.

wlan0 is still here (unless I rmmod r8188eu which will make r8188eu disappear).

But the error is still the same. When I iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor, there is SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

from tl-wn722n-v2.

I just tried the "AS DKMS MODULE" approach to install again (previously I used "NOT AS DKMS MODULE" approach). The error message is still the same.

from tl-wn722n-v2.

Thanks for the update Abhijeet, but I still have problems with the installation of the drive...
