lo        no wireless extensions.  eth0      no wireless extensions. 

wont seem identify new hardware:

i thought problem need driver - tried install driver: http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/tl-wn821n.html#driver make give me syntax errors (and think there easier way)

i followed link dlink dwa 131 wireless adapter not working on ubuntu 15.10 , when run apt-get install rtl8192eu-dkms this:

reading package lists... done building dependency tree reading state information... done rtl8192eu-dkms newest version. following packages automatically installed , no longer required:   culmus linux-headers-3.13.0-32 linux-headers-3.13.0-32-generic   linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-32-generic use 'apt-get autoremove' remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 remove , 12 not upgraded. 

and still dont work.

the laptop (and vm) connected ethernet directly.

kernal version- 4.4.0-45-generic

thank help!

i unable use tl-wn812n on ubuntu 14.04 (not vbox). attempted download driver tp-link website pt-br tp-link website version have no driver link there. tried google , found question.

i find driver following link http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/tl-wn821n.html#driver mention faced same makefile issue. fix it: guy wrote makefile did great job guy created driver zip root folder not aware of doing. named driver folder tl-wn821n(eu)_v5_160315_linux when run:

sudo make "******************************************" "no skrc,we use default ksrc" "******************************************" make arch=x86_64 cross_compile= -c /lib/modules/3.13.0-106-generic/build m=/tmp/tl-wn821n(eu)_v5_160315_linux/driver  modules /bin/sh: 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected make: *** [modules] error 2 

bash gives error because path name of driver makefile not escaped. renamed folder tl-wn821n-v5-160315-linux , worked building connecting internet.

hope help.
