Hello everyone!

I'm having trouble with my Wifi Card TL-WN881ND, I bought a new desktop PC, and I installed the card in it when starting the Linux, the card is recognized and I see connections available, I connect on my home network and I can navigate on it, but when I start the installation the screen goes black, I start seeing an error coming from the Wifi card, on-screen the error is showing in loop, I can't identify the error, cause go so fast, I turn to reset the computer, I start over, to try again, same black screen comes and the loop error start again, I'm using Linux on Virtualbox on Windows 10, I don't know what to do, even the Debian that doesn't recognize the wifi is showing the same black screen

So you're saying the Wifi card works under Windows 10? Or in some Linux live CD system?

Have you tried installing Linux using a network cable?

Not sure how exacly sure how Virtualbox works. VMware Player uses the host system's network connections and has three different modes on how it does that. And that's what I'd try (in VMware Player).
From a VMware point of view I'd say that behaviour is very strange.

Try posting the error message (or an english translation of it) so people with more clue than me have a chance to help you out. ;-)

Hi Ratamahatta, the wifi card works fine on Windows 10, I can use Linux on Virtualbox, but when comes to install Linux in a new partition next to Windows 10, in my pc, the error happens, I was able to install the Linux with the wifi card off my PC, using just cable, but when I put the wifi card back in my PC, the error happens, but, with the wifi card installed on my pc, I try to use LiveCD with wifi on, I can access my local wifi and navigate, just fine! But, if I try to install Linux, the screen goes black and the error starts to show up on the screen, in looping, showing the same error, over and over, I can't even see the error with details, I just can identify that the error is related to Wifi card, when this happens I restart the PC and try again.

Even when I try to install Debian, Debian doesn't recognize the wifi card, but, during the installation, the same error happens

A quick Google search: https://www.tp-link.com/de/support/download/tl-wn881nd/ has a link to an Installation Guide for Linux (several distributions). Must be compiled from source. (Don't know where the live system got it from.) I have the same thing on a badly overpriced HP laptop (overpriced because of low performance and case quality). I must rebuild the driver with each kernel update, and those updates happen frequently on a Sid based system.

Maybe someone else may help, too, if you tell us what Distribution you mean when saying Linux. My impression is that you use it for something else than Debian (which is a Linux distribution).

Just to re-check if I got that right: If you try to install Linux as a dual boot with Windows, the screen turns black at some stage if the card is installed in the PC and the installation succeeds when the card is not installed in the PC?
In that case I would suspect the card to send some interrupts that the PC can not handle if the driver is not loaded. So you would have to install Linux with the network card not installed, then get the code and required tools via network cable, then build the driver, make sure it is loaded on boot, then shut down the PC and insert the network card. Since the driver is loaded on next boot, the system should not bail out (if my assumptions are correct).

Can you try to video the monitor and then type off the error message here? A lot of Error messages are really helpful (except those from Microsoft, CUPS or mount.cifs ).

Ratamahatta, thank you for your help, I'm from Brazil, and I'm still learning English, but you did get it, I tried several distributions: Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Debian, Mint even the SystemRescueCD, when the card is not installed in the PC the installation works fine, but if I installed the system and put the card on, and I try to shut down the pc from the Ubuntu, for example, the error happens, even the Debian that not load the driver for the wifi card, the same error happens when I try to shut down the system, I gonna try to take a video of the error, and show to you, again thank you.

https://youtu.be/Cl8w7tNDXH0, it's quite impossible to see with clarity the error, but if you pause the video at some point it's almost clear to see the error.

I'm thinking to use a USB wifi adapter instead

Okay. At about 16 seconds the video is quite clear. I copied the error messages in case somebody else reads this or is more capable than me at searching the net for them:I asked startpage.com: "pcie bus error" "pcieport 0000:00:1d.0" and it came up with some pages about repeating PCIe errors that suggest to add a kernel option in GRUB (one of these three):So I think you might try that if your install medium has a GRUB so you can edit the executed lines. If not I suggest to install Linux without the card inserted, shutting down the system, inserting the card and adding that option in GRUB on the next boot.

Did you try to install Linux without the card inserted, then build the driver from source and install it, then shutdown Linux, insert the driver and boot?

Thank you, I'm gonna try that.
