WiFi Adapter TPLink AC1300

I’m newbye to Jetson Nano and new to this forum, but I was able to make a TPLink AC1300 (Archer T3U Plus) work. Since the only other topic I found doesn’t give a detailed solution in this regard I thought a good idea to provide it here.
My Jetson Nano didn’t have any internet connection yet therefore I had to start doing things on an external PC (with Windows in my case).

  1. Synchronize a folder with cilynx’s rtl88x2bu repository on github
    On a linux system this is done by:
    git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git

2.Edit the makefile so that in place of:
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y

CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_NV_NANO = n
you get:
CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n

CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_NV_NANO = y
3. Copy the whole folder to your Jetson Nano (in my case starting from a Windows system I’ve zipped the folder then used scp over USB mini connection, with a lot of pain due to how unstable such connection is)

4.cd to the folder with all the stuff, then launch these commands (NB: make takes time and will display a lot of warnings):
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 88x2bu

5.Reboot, and connect your TP-Link device

It’s great! Thanks for your sharing to the community!
