TP-LINK TL-WN823N V2 Wireless Adapter Activity LED Not Working - captnemo - 04-02-2018
Dear All:
I have got an issue with subject USB WLAN adapter. After having made it work using the suggestions/modules addressed here - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2348667 and here - https://askubuntu.com/questions/820886/problem-with-tp-link-tl-wn823n?noredirect=1&lq=1 I made the following observations:
- On a Medion Akoya E1210 running Lubuntu 4.13.0-37-generic (i686) (17.10), the adapter LED works perfectly, indicating any activity as expected; modules installed to get it operational are referred to in the two hyperlinks above;
- on a Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e DT system running Linux 4.13.0-37-generic (x86_64) (17.10) the adapter was recognized natively - does NOT indicate any activity, i.e., LED does not blink;
- on my DELL Latitude D800 running Linux Lite 3.8 Kernel 4.4.0-118-generic (i686) (16.04), I used the references given in the two hyperlinks above to make it work; the LED does NOT indicate any activity, i.e., LED does NOT blink.
I googled a considerable bit but only found indications for laptops to STOP the blinking of built-in INTEL wireless cards' activity LEDs.
Does anybody out there have a suggestion on how to turn it ON for Linux-based O/Ss? BTW - on Windows-based machines the adapter LED works as expected.
Thanks for any ideas.
