TP-LINK TL-WN725N V2 Linux Driver Installation

I bought a new TP-LINK wireless USB Nic, but the Tangle is that the Linux driver was not provided. Various Google solutions have finally been found, hoping to provide some clues for future users and avoid detours.

First confirm your wireless network card model: TL-WN725N 122TE1.

System Environment: Ubuntu 12.04.2 64-bit (32-bit theoretically)

$ Uname-
Linux ubuntu 3.5.0-23-generic #35 ~ Precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After searching and confirming with yourself on the internet, confirm that the NIC chip is realtek 8188eu. However, the realtek official website found that the driver did not provide the chip, so we had to find another way to find an oem rtl8188eu source code. Compilation and installation steps are provided:

1. Download the source code:
