How to install drivers for TL-WN725N v2 USB wireless adapter on Fedora 19
Posted on In QAI had a TP-Link TL-WN725N v2 USB wireless adapter. But it seems the kernels in Fedora 19 have not yet included drivers for it. How to install drivers for TL-WN725N v2 on Fedora 19?
The driver is under development. You can find the source here and in the drivers/staging in the Linux kernel.
If you enabled the rpmfusion repository, you can install the kmod-staging
package which contains the compiled driver.
However, it is reported there are still problems. Such as https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/26 .
Keep an eye on the progress in the Linux kernel or you need to try to debug it on your platform.
I confirm that the driver works for Fedora 20:
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 3.14.4-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 13 13:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The driver should be manually compiled and installed by:
make
make install
depmod -a
I confirm that this kernel/driver combination works:
$ uname -a
Linux tpt 3.14.8-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 16 21:57:53 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
