I'm trying to install a wi-fi driver for my wi-fi dongle on Ubuntu. The guide says I should:

• extract the folder (done)


• then type sudo make(done)


• then type sudo apt-get install build-essential(done)


• and last type sudo modprobe 8812au.

Now this is where it stops, when I press enter I get the message:

modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found. 

The folder looks like this:

I think the steps should be:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

If you encounter errors, please post them; warnings are probably alright.

EDIT:

I found an up to date version of this driver (version-4.3.14) that is configured to work well on newer Debian and RaspberryPi kernels.

This has been tested by me on 16.04 with kernel 4.2.0-23.

First, install some dependencies:

sudo apt-get install gcc-5 build-essential git linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Then, run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU.git
cd rtl8812AU
make CC=/usr/bin/gcc-5
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au
echo 8812au | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
