Ubuntu 24.10 driver for UE330 (UN) v4 on Linux kernel 6.11.0-18-generic

a week ago

Tags: #Network Connectivity #Installation #Linux Driver

Model: UE330

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version:

I cannot build the Ubuntu 24.10 driver for Linux kernel 6.11.0-18-generic.

Here is the error I get


```
$ make

Moreover, I don't know the chipset that is being used for Tp-Link UE330 (UN) V4, Indian version.

Could you folks confirm what the chipset is? I am not sure, but I think the chipset is AX88179 and I can build the driver on the Linux 6.x kernel

@cataluna84

Hi,

Can you please do a "lsusb" and tell us what the hardware ID of your UE330 is? That might tell us what chipset is used. "lsusb -t" should show whether a driver for the UE330 has been loaded or not.

Drivers for the AX88179 you mentioned should have been built into the Linux kernel since version 3.9 already.

The current issue includes the TP-Link UB500 Adapter not working and connecting to Bluetooth, plus only working on the sub 100 Mbps speeds like being connected to USB 2.0. I don't understand how the Bluetooth adapter was functional the last time I turned on my Workstation and with 250 Mbps speed.

Re:Ubuntu 24.10 driver for UE330 (UN) v4 on Linux kernel 6.11.0-18-generic

Tuesday

@cataluna84

Okay.

Does the TP-Link UB500 Adapter work fine if you connect it to one of the computer's own USB ports? (i.e. don't plug it into the UE330)

I own a TP-Link UB500 Adapter myself and lsusb -t also shows "Driver=btusb, 12M". In fact, all the Bluetooth controller I have (incl. Intel, MediaTek) show "12M". So this must be normal.

By the way, valid USB speeds are 1.5M, 12M, 480M, 5000M, etc.
An USB speed of 250 Mbps does not exist.

Hint: USB 3.0 devices that are connected via cables are known to cause interference that affects wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band, like 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless mice and keyboards. Therefore, using an USB Bluetooth adapter together with a wired USB 3.0 hub can potentially cause problems with the Bluetooth connection.

Q - Does the TP-Link UB500 Adapter work fine if you connect it to one of the computer's own USB ports? (i.e. don't plug it into the UE330)

A - Yeah, TP-Link UB500 does work perfectly fine when plugged directly on the computer's USB port.

Q - I own a TP-Link UB500 Adapter myself and lsusb -t also shows "Driver=btusb, 12M". In fact, all the Bluetooth controller I have (incl. Intel, MediaTek) show "12M". So this must be normal. By the way, valid USB speeds are 1.5M, 12M, 480M, 5000M, etc. An USB speed of 250 Mbps does not exist.

A - Yeah, my bad. The hub shows Driver=btusb, 12M for the bluetooth and Driver=ax_usb_nic, 5000M for AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet

Q - "Hint: USB 3.0 devices that are connected via cables are known to cause interference that affects wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band, like 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless mice and keyboards.

A - This is not a problem, as the AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet and the UB500 Bluetooth work with the correct drivers. Here, you can see that when it's working

I installed the ASIX_USB_NIC_Linux_Driver_Source_v3.4.0 from https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/USBEthernet/Super-Speed_USB_Ethernet/AX88179 and it worked until I restarted my Workstation. I don't know if the modprob is loading the correct driver everytime. Here's modinfo of the ax_usb_nic

I just need drivers to load up properly everytime I restart my Workstation, as you can see from the X post below, I am getting these speeds when the driver is loaded up properly after boot - https://x<dot>com/cataluna84/status/1895679272511246673

Currently it's alternating between 100 Mbps speeds and UB500 not working on UE330, i.e., the driver not loading up after restart to 1000 Mbps(Gigabit speeds) and UB500 working on UE330.

Re:Ubuntu 24.10 driver for UE330 (UN) v4 on Linux kernel 6.11.0-18-generic

Yesterday

@cataluna84

If the Linux kernel comes with its own in-kernel driver for a particular device (i.e. the AX88179), but you want to use another out-of-kernel (external) driver instead, then the in-kernel driver needs to be blacklisted.
I haven't done this myself and hence can't really assist you, but you should be able to find information on the Internet, for example here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/110341/how-to-blacklist-kernel-modules

Ubuntu 24.10 driver for UE330 (UN) v4 on Linux kernel 6.11.0-18-generic
