Installing driver for RTL8192EU problem [duplicate]

  • 772

Trying to install from instructions on: https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linux-driver and I get:

$ kirby@kirby-Aspire-ES1-433:~/Downloads/rtl8192EU_linux_v4.3.1.1_11320.20140505$
 sudo dkms add
Error! Invalid number of arguments passed.
Usage: add <module>/<module-version> or
       add -m <module>/<module-version> or
       add -m <module> -v <module-version>

How to do correctly sudo dkms add?

I tried also: 

kirby @kirby -Aspire-ES1- 433
sudo add-apt-repository ppa hanipouspilot/rtlwifi   
[sudo] password for kirby

This is ppa for Realtek drivers from Larry Finger's GitHub.

  rtl8192eu is packaged from the Realtek site with some compat patches
