I am using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10. This is my kernel version:
Linux 3.5.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 13 17:48:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My wireless card is an AWUSU36H
The first thing I do to install the driver is copy the driver from the CD to the Downloads folder.
cd /media/me/AWUS036H/Drivers/RTL8187L/Unix (Linux)/Linux driver for kernel 2.6.X$
cp rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar.gz ~/Downloads/
Then I extract the tar
tar xvfz rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar.gz
I navigate into the extracted folder, and I try to follow the instructions in the Readme.txt
cd rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007
This are the contents of the folder:
drv.tar.gz makedrv stack.tar.gz wlan0rmv
ieee80211 ReadMe.txt wlan0dhcp wlan0up
ifcfg-wlan0 rtl8187 wlan0down wpa_supplicant-0.4.9
This is what the Readme.txt says:
Release Date: 2006-02-09, ver 1.2^M
RTL8187 Linux driver version 1.2^M
^M
--This driver supports RealTek RTL8187 Wireless LAN driver for ^M
Fedora Core 2/3/4/5, Debian 3.1, Mandrake 10.2/Mandriva 2006, ^M
SUSE 9.3/10.1/10.2, Gentoo 3.1, etc.^M
- Support Client mode for either infrastructure or adhoc mode^M
- Support WEP and WPAPSK connection^M
^M
< Component >^M
The driver is composed of several parts:^M
1. Module source code^M
stack.tar.gz^M
drv.tar.gz^M
^M
2. Script ot build the modules^M
makedrv^M
^M
3. Script to load/unload modules^M
wlan0up^M
wlan0down ^M
^M
4. Script and configuration for DHCP^M
"ReadMe.txt" [readonly] 140 lines, 4590 characters
So what I do know is extract both of the compressed files:
sudo tar xvfz drv.tar.gz
sudo tar xvfz stack.tar.gz
This 2 commands will add some data to the folders ieee80211 and rtl8187
At this point I get lost, and I don't know what to do. If I go in each of this 2 folders and I run the sudo make command then I get errors like this one:
sudo makemake -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-19-generic/build M=/home/me/Downloads/rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007/rtl8187 modules

If I try to run any of the script ./makedrv that the instructions describe, then I also get an error:

Can somebody give me a hand finding out what I need to do to make my wifi card work?
Update
This is the output of the lsusb command
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
It looks like the adapter is recognized. Also I noticed that if i use the command ifconfig I see this:

It looks like the computer sees the card but only if I turn on the button in the laptop that enables the internal network card. If it is of, then wlan1(which is my AWUSU36H) is not visible. If the button is of, then computer doesn't detect that card.
Still don't know how to make the card work. I only want the AWUSU36H to work but not the integrated one.
This is the outut of the command sudo lshw -C network:
