tplink wifi dongle

[w8tfi]

Hello Eveyone,
I have a tplink WiFi dongle and haven't been able to get it to work, I have built a mobile Pi-star so I can link it to my phone. I did read that I may have to install a driver for it. But the problem I have run into is I don't know how to install a driver through the Pi-star software, can someone guild me in the right direction on how this may be done.
Thank you for any and all help
Brian

It's possible that your WiFi dongle is not supported by the Linux kernel. Are you able to connect in to your hotspot locally, either be connecting a monitor and keyboard, or by connecting it to your network via ethernet then using secure shell?

I forgot to ask - have you built the wpa-supplicant.conf file and copied it to the memory card so it has details your your wifi SSID and password?
