I have a TP Link WN823N (Version 3.0) USB WiFi adapter. Ubuntu 18.10 lets me attempt to connect to a wireless network but fails every time with the notification:

Connection Failed

and in dmesg

So I thought it might be a driver problem. I downloaded the official driver from their website and extracted it. Then I cd'd into the directory and ran

sudo make

and entered my password. It fails with this message:

"******************************************"

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Am I doing something wrong? Are the drivers just messed up? Is this not related to the drivers? Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe the issue is the unescaped parentheses (US) in the name of the working directory? What driver file exactly did you download from the linked site and how did you unpack it?

Okay, I renamed it and it did get further but now it has several other errors including "void value not ignored" in the line #define _seqdump seq_printf. and "timer has no member named data" Also, I downloaded the non-beta driver TL-WN823N(US)_V3_160315_Linux and extracted it with the GUI.

Nov 20 at 20:37

At the download site, it clearly says: "For Linux kernel 2.6.24 ~ 4.9.60." You are running 4.18. This old file is incompatible with your kernel. Let's take a look at: lsusb and we'll troubleshoot.
