i extracted it to desktop but when i go to terminal and type make 'make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. I have the folder for the driver that came on disk with the wifi adapter.

If you aren't sure how to do this then I'd spend more time on Google looking for how to install the rtl8192cu driver and see if you can get more step by step instructions.

This process above assumes you understand each step (make clean, then make, then sudo make install.etc). To make work with 11.04 do the following in addition to the above, replace init_MUTEX(prwlock) in os_dep/osdep_service.c with a sema_init(prwlock,1)Įdit: sorry I can't help more with it. make clean, make, sudo make install, sudo modprobe 8192cu. After a new kernel or linux-image do as follows: cd Desktop/rtl8192CUdriverfolder. then in a Terminal: make, sudo make install, sudo modprobe 8192cu. To make work with 10.04 LTS and 10.10 First sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic, then download the driver from:, then extract the folder named rtl8192CU from under driver to Desktop/rtl8192CUdriverfolder.
