I'm trying to install the drivers for a wifi dongle but so far have failed.
Could somone please tell me how to do this?
The manufacture supplied a CD with the following driver
RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911
with instructions to compile the drivers, but when I tried to do this I got errors.
lsusb gives
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.
I've tried
sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek
giving
E: Unable to locate package firmware-realtek
Compiling the code gave the following output:

Try using:
sudo apt-get update
This updates your sources for apt-get
Also your adapter is a Ralink, not Realtek, so try installing firmware for a Ralink adapter (Possibly "firmware-ralink" )
