Compile Archer T2U driver for Debian stable (Jessie)

I've tried to get this blasted wireless AC adapter to work. From what I scrounged up from the internet, it has ralink hardware but no official deb package to install it. The official site has provided a linux driver, but I could not get it to compile.

http://www.tp-link.com/ph/download/Arch … tml#Driver

Using the above link for drivers and following its directions, I'm stuck at the part "make sure the the path in makefile.c is suitable for your compile environment of your Linux system". I have gcc 4:4.9.2-2 installed.

I also do not see a makefile.c but these following names:

Makefile
Makefile.clean
Makefile.inc

I tried following the advice in this ubuntu thread by installing git build-essentials, but I'm also getting make errors.

Recipe for target 'LINUX' failed

Another method to install from git sources is here

Having had this issue in the past with other wifi dongles, I always recommend buying one that works OOTB! They are quite cheap, and ASUS beats Ralink anytime on Linux (in my experience )

Looks like you may be out of luck with that device:

Until now there is no driver support for this chipset in the Linux kernel.

https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_T2U

Also, you need to post the *complete* error message rather than just the last line, try this to generate a pastebin URL:

make | pastebinit

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/pastebinit

Finally, I suppose we should objectively confirm the device ID:

sudo update-usbids
lsusb

It can't hurt to try and "make" this driver:  https://github.com/Myria-de/mt7610u_wif … o_20130916

Someone on Ubuntu reported it building on a 3.19 kernel, but it failed on my 4.8 one.

More reading:  https://askubuntu.com/questions/726569/ … 04-lts-x64

Note that a zip of the driver can be downloaded instead of fooling around with git, and that the procedure to install kernel headers is different in a Debian distro.
