Hello everyone,

I am working on a Jetson Orin Nano with JetPack version 6 and kernel 5.15.136-tegra. I am facing an issue where the TP-Link WN725N WiFi adapter is not recognized by the Jetson. I have done extensive research on this problem, and it appears to be a common issue. I found several drivers on various websites (such as rtl8188eus), but they did not install properly, possibly due to incompatibility with the kernel version I am using. I also tried other drivers but encountered the same issue.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Actually, I checked that before, and it did not work. I encountered an issue during the compilation of the driver, which indicated that it could not find the destination for 5.15.136-tegra, and the compilation was terminated at that point.

I am not entirely sure, but it seems to me that the kernel version might not be compatible with the driver.

I would appreciate any suggestions related to this issue.
Thank you.

Hi,
There is discussion about another WIFI module:

Jetson/L4T/r36.3.x patches - eLinux.org
Enable AX210 WIFI module

You may check and see whether these configs are required for your WIFI module.
