## TP-Link Archer T3U (RTL8812BU) driver
This project expects the T3U USB adapter as `wlan1` for hotspot/uplink logic.
On a fresh Pi, install the RTL8812BU DKMS driver before configuring WiFi
profiles:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git dkms build-essential bc raspberrypi-kernel-headers
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702.git
cd 88x2bu-20210702
sudo ./install-driver.sh
sudo reboot
```
After reboot, verify:
```bash
ip link show wlan1
```
If `wlan1` is still missing, do not continue with `ifname wlan1` profiles yet.
Either fix the driver first, or temporarily use `wlan0` and update `WLAN`/`WLAN_FB`
in `deploy/install_netwatch.sh`.
