I downloaded this zip file as suggested in How to install Asus USB-N14 Adapter?

My adapter comes with a dvd including a file named Asus_USB-N14_LinuxSTA_Drive.tar.bz2, contents as shown:

Contents of included file

What can I do to use the file? Which file should I use? How do I install? I do not know how to use the file from the link at the top or the files pictured on the included DVD.

I am on a Dell Inspiron 5520 which originally came with Ubuntu before it was replaced by the reseller. I uninstalled everything and installed Ubuntu 2 days ago.

You can install the driver this way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192cu-dkms linux-firmware

and reboot.

And you do not need any disk ;-)

  • Where did you extract the files to? Did you create Driver folder? – Pilot6 Aug 03 '15 at 19:05
  • How is this not an rt2800usb device? $ modinfo rt2800usb | grep 17E8 alias: usb:v0B05p17E8d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* – chili555 Aug 03 '15 at 20:58
  • @chili555 look into the rt2800usb driver code. It is not there. I guess this code is added by some mask. – Pilot6 Aug 03 '15 at 21:03
  • @Pilot6 There it is; I posted it. What does modinfo rt2800usb | grep -i 17e8 tell you? – chili555 Aug 03 '15 at 21:18
  • @chili555 look into the source code of rt2800usb.c. This tells me that it is linked to the driver, but it does not tell me why. I know it is realtek. And it works. – Pilot6 Aug 03 '15 at 21:22
  • It's listed on line 1289 of rt2800usb.c. If you think it works with rtl8192cu, please provide a link showing it. http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800usb.c?v=3.19 – chili555 Aug 03 '15 at 21:25
