What driver did you use and ease of set up?

Dapper Drake

1. Use the WinXP drivers in the directory TL-WN620G/Win2000_XP/Driver Files of the installation CD:

 r5523.bin  athfmwdl.inf  athfmwdl.sys  tl-wn620g.inf  tl-wn620g.sys 
      

1. Install `athfmwdl` first, then `tl-wn620g` second:

 
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i tl-wn620g.inf 
      

1. Check that the device is found:

 
$ sudo ndiswrapper -l
      Installed ndis drivers:
      athfmwdl                driver present
      tl-wn620g               driver present, hardware present
      

1. Fire it up:

 modprobe ndiswrapper
      

You can then use systemsettings to configure the network interface.

Hardy Heron

1. Download the Windows drivers from here: http://www.tp-link.com/english/soft/2007116174835.zip
2. Unzip 2007116174835.zip to your desktop
3. Install the Windows driver using a terminal window:

 
$ cd ~/Desktop/2007*/Win2000_XP/Driver\ Files/
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i athfmwdl.inf 
$ sudo ndiswrapper -i net5523.inf
      

1. Check that the device is found:

 $ sudo ndiswrapper -l
      athfmwdl : driver installed
	       device (0CF3:0002) present
      net5523 : driver installed
	      device (0CF3:0002) present
      

1. Fire it up:

 $ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
      

1. Setup your network connection by clicking on the network icon on the top menu bar and selecting your wireless network.
2. Currently there is a bug(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/224809) in Hardy which prevents the device from working after a reboot, to fix this you will have to type these commands everytime you reboot (you may consider putting them into a script that is run at login):

 
$ sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
$ sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
      

Hardy Heron

1. Like many others, I've been struggling with this device for quite a long time.

Here is what I found out. a. Seemingly, there is no need in the athfmwdl.inf driver. Probably, it only gets things worse. b. You should configure ndiswrapper with your device physically removed, and only insert it after you complete the setup and add the ndiswrapper module by the modprobe command, otherwise you may suffer lockups and the adapter may not work. c. There is a new version for the ar5523 driver (1.5.0.119). It is available on windows update. There's where I got it. It works for me, though after I discovered the above 2 points, the older version available on the official tp-link site, works for me too. If you wish to try the new version and do not have access to windows update, you may have some hard time finding it. This version is not available on the tp-link site. I googled it, but nothing appropriate was found. Posting it in attachment, don't tell anyone.

I'm using the latest version of ndiswrapper (1.53), compiled from source.

Intrepid

1. There is no need to install athfmwdl.inf
2. I compiled ndiswrapper 1.54 and used driver from install CD.

If you used ndiswrapper and pulled driver from the internet, where?

Dapper Drake

1. The driver on the device's CD-ROM works. The drivers can also be downloaded from the manufacturer's support page: http://www.tp-link.com/product/download/Driver_Utility/TL-WN620G_060614.zip

Hardy Heron

1. The driver on the CD-ROM hasn't been tested. The following drivers from the manufacturer's support page work:

Hardy Heron

1. Windows update

Intrepid

1. The driver from supplied CD-ROM works well.
