Hi,

If you use code tags then things should work for your posts. Plus it makes things cleaner and easier to read. Your second post remove this thread from the zero reply list.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

Please edit your original post to use code tags. See link in my sig
Please edit your original post to remove the curse words. They don't help in the description of your problem (which you've buried in all that text, if it's there at all), and are offensive to many.

I think the network connections don't have an IP address and that's why they don't work.

Have a read of this:

If that doesn't work, try this:

Excuse me but im really frustrated it's almost a week and im trying to fix things up literally hours over hours alone and i aint some IT guy... If the usage of some words that you also use in your day life it's too offending then you are here to point that out and not to help! IF you can help then plz indeed do help me

I did try to edit my post so it would be clearer i hope that helps ' right know i have a system that was compromised and i did format it and i have someone around in my neighborhood that dabbles with some penetration suits just to see what they can do..
My least concern if to remove some words that some people find them offensive right now... I must fix up and set up my computer and as a newbie i came here to help... And YES I DO BELIEVE THAT TP-LINK IS S****** (see i hid the curse word) and i do believe that they do not care to fix the problem with compatibility they have... I did send them a message about the aforementioned product so they create drivers for linux and unix systems in general,back then and they didn't care! So the problem persists for years now.. If you to their site and "community" you will see that many of us who paid them for the product have the same problem when it comes with compatibility for linux...

Now about the friend who point it me to the url that says about mint not storing the password it does..So it's not this the problem and ty for trying to help me.. I will try to use the drivers apart from that i do not know hwo to follow the guide(https://github.com/0xBADEAFFE/rt8192cu_dkms) when it says "Remove the none dkms version of this driver: Change to the old driver directory (where the "Makefile" is)"

Again ty for trying to help me.

p.s I do not know how to remove my second post with the log file from the from the zero reply list..

I am sorry that i am not a forum everyday user..

Looks like that is supported with RTL8192CU, and you have that loaded. https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Realtek
Have you configured those interfaces? They will need an IP address, and route to the outside world, and a DNS server. Or configure the DHCP server that you are using to pass out an IP address to it.

Also is the wireless using WEP/WPA? Look at WPA supplicant.
Here is some general info
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php..._configuration

I would use the docs for whatever distribution that you are using.

Are you using Mint?

I believe this is a fairly old network adapter.

Given your inexperience, I'd recommend you try something different.

While we get your frustration, I can also say that getting very old network hardware to work with a current kernel may be a very lengthy, and involved process, which you may not yet have the background for.

Based on the OP, the network interfaces are not configured...they have no IP addresses. While there may be issues with the age of the adaptor, I don't believe that's the root cause of the problem. I suspect the wifi is not configured to use DHCP, so can't pull an address from their network, but that's just a guess.

Also, I think the OP is using a Live USB/CD, so any changes they make won't be persistent...they won't survive a reboot.

Again, (and I can't believe I'm saying this) the problem gets lost in the OP because there's just way too much information.

The wireless is WPA2/AES(WPA2-PSK) i will check the urls you post and i will try to find a solution based on those urls.. Yes i do use a live usb stick i haven't format my HDD yet cuz i want to make sure i'd get a connection to my wifi with a live version of a linux before i do a format and install linux..Yes i do use linux mint as a live distro right now ..Again thank you very much for your reply ..i do find it usefull..And that's how a useful reply to a problem looks like imo like yours,the rest are kitten garden who deal how i speak instead to try to answer to the problem,but that's internet...Again ty vm friend! I will post any new findings..again ty!

Yes i am using a live usb cuz i want to make sure i would get a connection to my router with it first before i continue to a format..About the DHCP i do not know i must check with my ISP i am using the tp link router TD-W8960N. Yes friend you are right about the info it is too much but i decided to give everything that i found,cuz in every post i checked online i usually see responses like " write this command on terminal post back your findings " style ..So i took the initiative and post all the usual commands people say in forums to help others so there is no need for someone who tries to help to wait for me to write down the command and then come back to the forums post it and then wait for a reply ..Thus by this i did speed up the process for people who wanna help.. Again ty for trying to help me you too..

All the more reason to try and find a more current adapter.

This might be your problem. Have you tried to install the firmware-realtek package in the non-free repo

Well i found this one https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux...822a00a0a01082
and this one firmware-realtek_20190114-2_all.deb but it's debian based i know mint is ubuntu based and ubuntu based on debian ,which one i should use and how i should do it ? Ty for help ,notice that i run linux mint in a live usb stick.

Are you using persistence with the live usb? Firmware isn't distro specific. I can't say which firmware will work, give it a try and see what happens.
