Hi!

Sorry it's not totally clear to me what the purpose of the WIFI stick should be, passthrough to a guest or for the PVE host itself?


If it's for the host this may a bit of a PITA, there is not official Linux driver in the Kernel, AFAICS, TP Link uses different chipsets for their adapters, this one seems to use a MediaThek one which people report to get working with:

You'd need to get your hands dirty and compile it yourself.

Newer ones are also realtek based wher it could be enough to install the firmware-realtek package from the non-free debian repository to get the correct fw.

Hello and thank you very much for your answer.
I'm sorry if it was not clear.
In fact I wish I put my server very noisy, an old computer, in another room. But I do not have network access with a rj45. So I wanted to put a usb wifi key to have network.
But I enter difficulties to make it recognize the Debian 8 jessie proxmox.
Maybe that's clearer now.
Could you explain to me again your position please
Best regards
Phil
