[PROBLEM] TP-Link TL-WN725N unable to get wifi working

[Maylo]

it appears that this does not work either.

EDIT:

i finally got it working by running:
thanks to @menakite

Code:

sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtlwifi; sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/blob/master/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188efw.bin?raw=true

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/blob/master/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8188eufw.bin?raw=true

and editing my /etc/network/interfaces to:

Code:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

and my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to:

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
        ssid="NETWORK_NAME"
        psk="NETWORK_PASSWORD"
}

thanks for the help guys!
