[SOLVED] wifi adaptor tp-link tl-wn722n v2.0 drivers and configuration

hello. I got a laptop with a wifi adaptor integrated with rtl8187SE chipset. I bought a new wifi adaptor with directionable anthena tp-link tl-wn722n v2.0. I want to configure this new adaptor, but I'm lost. The id of the new wifi adaptor is 2347:010c. how can I know what driver I need? I'd read that probably for the v2.0 the driver is the rtl8188eu, but with modprobe r8188eu.ko, only show this module in lsmod, but nothing more happens. any idea? thanks

Looks like v2 of that device changed the chipset so the IDs don't load the correct firmware:

Update: you need a newer kernel:
