Hi, I'm a new Linux user with almost %0 knowledge about linux and I want in a weeks build a pc with this OS, but I have the problem that the motherboard don't have WiFi, so I am triying to install an WiFi adapter on my old PC without WiFi.

The model is: TL-WN823N v2

I don't understand the instructions of the installation and I don't know what to do. Please someone can help me? I've already used this OS on other systems and I like it so much.

My english can't be perfect.

Hi, I made the same mistake recently for a family member - you see TP stating GNU/Linux support on the box - you take it home and find your kernel does not support it! They should be hung out to dry! It's like a Windows hardware manufacturer saying it works with Windows but fails to point out the security issues that it will only work with XP! I would advise you look at this link here:
