TP-Link TL-WN722N v2 Driver Problem Ubuntu 20.04

I'm fairly new to Ubuntu so sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I've successfully compiled and installed https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux.git without errors.

$ sudo make install

install -p -m 644 8192eu.ko  /lib/modules/5.8.0-43-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

/sbin/depmod -a 5.8.0-43-generic

But I don't see any mention of wireless devices etc in settings->network or or in the top right hand corner of the desktop. The device is plugged in and shows up with lsusb:

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2357:010e TP-Link TL-WN722N v2
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04d9:1603 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 145f:02b5 Trust Trust Wireless Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I've tried restarting the computer and also restarting the network-manager. Have I missed a step? Any ideas? Thanks!

Solution 1:

2357:010e TP-Link TL-WN722N v2

Please run the terminal command:

modinfo 8192eu | grep 010E

It should return blank. This driver doesn't actually cover your device.

Please instead use this driver: https://github.com/morrownr/8812au

I have verified that it indeed does cover your device:

modinfo 8812au.ko | grep 010E
alias:          usb:v2357p010Ed*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*
