ASUS USB-N13 wireless adapter problems with Ubuntu 14.04
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and I am new to Linux and networking. I am having trouble with my ASUS N-13 network adapter, I get a signal but that signal drops often. What can I do?
Solution 1:
If you're still looking for an answer to this, and for future users, there's a great solution which refers to the original solution.
I have just copied and pasted as is from the README:
Installation
Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
Set it up as a DKMS module:
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
Build and install it:
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.11
Refresh the module list:
sudo depmod -a
Ensure the native (and broken) kernel driver is blacklisted:
sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
And reboot. You're done.
