i followed this tutorial:
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/il3q5i/how_to_make_tplink_archer_t2u_all_versions_of_it/

the device showed up on ip link at first, but after reboot it doesnt show up anymore

extra info:
i am using a laptop (dell vostro 15 3510) which already has a wifi card inside, but it lacks capabilities i need for aircrack-ng

i had to download iwd package and restart the service every time when i plug it in, but even after that it disappears after a few seconds

#

#

also with each restart that last number (9 right now) keeps getting bigger
