Wifi dongle

Configuration
1

Hi all,
I’m trying to add an external wifi dongle to my system but something is not working as I was expecting.
First of all, the goal is to connect (with wifi) my system to a huawei solar inverter where it provide an access point used for modbus purpose.
In order to do that I bought a tl-wn722n where it should be recognized without problem out of the box (if I understand correctly).
My system is running on a proxmox installation and I make full passthrough in order to give the full control on home assistant.
I can see the device from consolle and from interface

But I can’t use it since also for nmcli do not exist any wlan.

Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks

I had no luck with wn722 so I change to another solution:

I bought a WR802 and used it like a “ethernet client” connecterd to Huawei inverter via wifi.
All the informations could be found in the huawei topic

my solution.
in proxmox I pass-through the PCIe wifi to HA in a virtual machine.

in home-assistant appears the wifi interface in System->network!
