Works with tp-link TXE70UH (8852cu) #17

skyer9 · 2024-06-18T06:40:06Z

My Product is TXE70UH.

lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 35bc:0102 Realtek 802.11ax WLAN Adapter

modified some code.

	{USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x35b2, 0x0502, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8852C}, /* TP-Link AXE5400(RTW8832CU) */
	{USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x35bc, 0x0102, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8852C}, /* TP-Link AXE5400(RTW8852CU) */

and built source.

if OS is Ubuntu, below command is needed.

# https://github.com/McMCCRU/rtl8188gu 
sudo rmmod option
sudo rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko
sudo depmod -a

in Ubuntu, kernel module option breaks usb type detection.
kernel module option means GSM modem driver.

additionally

sudo vi /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

......

i needed to change usb type as dongle mode.
more over, it needs reboot.

sudo reboot

and i can find dongle.

ifconfig

but some error exists.

if i plug out TXE70UH and plug in this, it dose not work.
it needs reboot too.

Hi skyer9,

Do you using kernel above 6.5 ?

When I checked kernel 5.10, 5.15(ubuntu 20.04), 6.5(ubuntu22.04), TXE70UH is not working.
On the ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.8), driver have some errors, but iw scan is work.

skyer9 · 2024-06-18T07:22:48Z

uname -a
Linux XXXXXX 5.4.0-124-generic #140-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 4 02:23:37 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

for some reason, i use kernel 5.4.0.
Ubuntu 20.04.

i think problem is USB Type auto detection.

without usb_modeswitch,
LAN Card recognized as GSM modem and fails.
you can check it in dmesg or syslog.

It works well.

I also have a Txe70uh trying to use this with Linux mint.
Could someone please give me detailed instructions how I load the driver into Linux mint.
Thank you.

Fixed my 'make' problem that i previously posted, it was my error so please ignore. Anyhow, this is still not working for me so im not sure whats going on. The device is recognised when i "lsusb" but i cannot seem to get the driver issue sorted.

Working tp-link TXE70UH (2024, 8852cu) on Ubuntu 23.10 here too, mixing this issue and #20 :

Does not appear to work on Kali Linux 2024.3, running on ESXi 6.7 via VMWare Workstation 17.6, and with Kernel 6.10.9 :(

lsusb just seems to hang with no response when trying to probe. 35bc:0102 TXE70UH(EU) Ver 1.0 is the USB dongle.

I get an error at this step on my Linux Mint. Any ideas?

vincelawdev · 2024-12-04T12:31:47Z

I got this from ChatGPT.

The error message indicates that the kernel module you are trying to load (8852cu.ko) is being rejected due to an issue with its cryptographic signature. This often happens on systems with Secure Boot enabled. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and fix the issue:

Check Secure Boot Status

Secure Boot can block unsigned or improperly signed modules.

Run the following command to check Secure Boot status:

`mokutil --sb-state

If Secure Boot is enabled, you’ll need to either disable it or sign the module.`

Disable Secure Boot (if appropriate)

Reboot your system and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings.
Locate the Secure Boot option and disable it.
Save and exit the BIOS, then retry loading the module.

Sign the Module for Secure Boot

If you don’t want to disable Secure Boot, you can sign the module instead:

a. Generate a Signing Key

mkdir ~/module-signing

cd ~/module-signing

openssl req -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout MOK.key -out MOK.crt -nodes -days 365 -subj "/CN=Module Signing/"

b. Convert PEM to DER Format

openssl x509 -in MOK.crt -outform DER -out MOK.der

c. Import the Key

sudo mokutil --import MOK.der

You will be prompted to create a password.
Reboot your system, and during the boot process, enroll the key using the password you set.

d. Sign the Module

sudo /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/scripts/sign-file sha256 ~/module-signing/MOK.key ~/module-signing/MOK.crt /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8852cu.ko

e. Verify the Signature

sudo modinfo /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8852cu.ko | grep "sig"

Retry Loading the Module

sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8852cu.ko

Check Logs

If the module still doesn’t load, check system logs for more information:

dmesg | tail -n 20

kovaacs · 2025-01-19T15:33:37Z

#17 (comment) also works on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, just make sure wpasupplicant is installed

Also, the mode switching needs to be set up (source):
