Wireless adapter driver installed with dkms not working after restart

br flag

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

I followed this instructions to install the driver TP-Link Archer T2U Plus a.k.a AC600 High-Gain.

After the first installation, I unplugged and plugged the USB Wireless Adapter again and it worked. After the first system restart, the Wireless adapter stop working. I removed the driver and installed it again and it started worked just fine as before.

I suspect something is happening during the restart or something is not getting initialized correctly, can someone help me?

This time I saved the command line output of the installation, I hope it helps.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
