Hey everyone =)

Sorry for my english, not my native language ^^

I'm running Debian 5.4.0, and i'm trying to install a dongle Tp-Link WN823N. When i compile the file directory with "make" I have an error :

"******************************************"
"NO SKRC,we will use default KSRC"
"******************************************"
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build M=/root/Téléchargements/TL-WN823N(EU)_V2_160315_Linux/Driver modules
/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Makefile:1696: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2

After two hours of searching, I have to create my own thread for my problem...

If I understand right, the drivers on the offical page of Tp-link at
http://www.tp-link.fr/download/TL-WN823N.html#Driver
supports kernel 2.6.18 ~ 3.10.10. not 5.4.0.

So I know where the problem is (I guess), but I don't know how can I solve it ! Can you help me please ?
Thanks you =)

Do you really have to compile? Was it not detected? Have you already installed kernel-devel, headers and friends.

Thanks for replying

Mmh, I think not.

Before, I made 3 upgrade
apt-get update && upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Same result.
Forget something ?

You need install kernel source code to compile the driver.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions shiddo. It's generally a good idea to start by sharing the chipset details for a device like this. Some chipsets employed in the TL-WN823N are supported by the rtl8192cu driver for example, so it might already be supported by your kernel. With the device plugged in, open a terminal and do
The following command will show if a module is already associated with the device
Back to your error
Make sure that you have the necessary build environment (build-essential package?) and kernel headers (linux-headers-$(uname -r) package?) before attempting module compilation. I'm sure other Debian users could offer you specific advice here.

Thank you =)

for lsusb, i made it earlier, few post later ^^

but apt-get install build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r) returns errors, "E: Couldn't find any packages "

I didn't try that, do you have any command for this please ? ^^

I don't know what the exact naming of the packages are. You're going to need to figure that out.

Thanks for the link. Will read this later, when I have some times.

This file is the only one who makes troubles, for now, I could compile each programs that I wanted to install.

Do you follow their instruction for compiling and installing driver? They request to modify Makefile to meet your environment.

I did it a few minutes ago.

build-essential -> Check -> ok
bzip2 -> Check -> ok
libncurses5-dev -> Check -> ok
git -> Check -> ok
fakeroot -> Check -> ok
initramfs-tools -> Check -> ok
dkms -> Check -> ok
devscripts -> Check -> ok

But my dongle is still not identify.
Same error when i'm trying to compile.

A friend came and bring his WN822N. At first it didn't work too, can't compile the drivers neither. But after following this : https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-...ster/README.md and reboot, it works perfectly.

The list of compatibility says :

TP-Link TL-WN822N (0bda:8178)
TP-Link TL-WN823N

So, it works on 822, not my 823.

This can be a material dysfunction ?

The chipset you have is 2357:0109 and that is supported by the rtl8192eu driver
