I am having wifi range issues in Ubuntu 18.04. I downloaded the Realtek driver software from GitHub and after extracting the file to desktop and was running the make command.
allen@allen-HP-Notebook:~/Desktop/rtlwifi_new-rock.new_btcoex$ make
After running this command I get the following error.
make -C /lib/modules/4.15.0-33-generic/build M=/home/allen/Desktop/rtlwifi_new-rock.new_btcoex modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.15.0-33-generic'

Why am I getting this error?
