So, what should you do? Plug in the device. Unfortunately, that particular module hasn't ever worked, and, IMHO, a fix has been long overdue ( bug report).
The RTL8192cu module has been part of the Linux kernel since version 2.6.38, so that, ideally, you'd only need to plug the device in, and it would work. Generally speaking, any Linux driver on a vendor CD would be outdated, and, in most cases, would not be worth bothering with. To enable this driver, use the command: sudo modprobe 8192cuįinally, update /etc/modules with this command before you reboot: echo '8192cu' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

To compile and install the proprietary Realtek 8192cu driver, run the following commands in an open terminal: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-generic dkms Your wireless driver should start up automatically. You can use the wireless now or, alternatively, you can make sure you have all of your work saved before you type: sudo reboot
Then, edit /etc/rc.local by opening the file with your favorite text editor like in this example: sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
(use these instructions when your wireless USB device is not automatically recognized by Ubuntu) sudo modprobe rtl8192cuĮcho "2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_idĮcho "rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules 12.04 & 14.04+: you can view these instructions or just do as I say.
