Have a wireless dongle device for which no drivers have been provided for by Ubuntu/Linux. I can add the driver through the Terminal and make it work. I have instructions on how to make it a permanent addition to Ubuntu (12.04) but have no clue of how and what to type in to make this driver permanent and to have it available when I start up the program.
My instructions say "to put the module in the list of loaded modules" "Just add RTL8192cu in /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf"
and add the following command to /etc/rtc.local: echo ""2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id"
I'm not really up on inputting commands into the terminal program to make things happen. Any help would be appreciated.

Sometimes the terminal is the best way to go - and much faster at that. Just follow the instructions you have and you'll be fine. – hmayag Oct 15 '13 at 20:42

The instructions above are for some other version of Linux; they are incorrect for Ubuntu. Please open a terminal and do:
sudo -i
echo rtl8192cu >> /etc/modules
exit
gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
Right above 'exit 0' add these two lines:
modprobe rtl8192cu
echo "2001 330D" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
Proofread carefully, save and close gedit. You should be all set.
