I feel like I've literally tried everything with this one.

Using ndiswrapper, I've added the netrtwlanu_Vista driver, which appears to be accepted: (device: present - I tried others as well, which didn't seem to be accepted)...
... but nothing appears in the WiFi Settings and nothing appears in the Additional Drivers tab (I did select "Main server" as source).
Also, in various posts and methods I read stuff about blacklisting:
I have no idea what to blacklist and how to check if what's supposed to be blacklisted is.
Before I buy a different WiFi USB dongle, I want to make sure there's nothing I can do about installing this one (I tested it and works on Windows 10).
Also, is there a list of USB WiFi devices that work on Ubuntu 18?
I'm far from being familiar with Ubuntu, please provide clear instructions. If more info is needed, let me know.
