How do I get a Rosewill USB wireless adapter RNX-N180UBE working?

Question

Need a how to install for Rosewill USB wireless adapter RNX-N180UBE.

Dell laptop using Ubuntu 12.04. Rosewill USB wireless adapter RNX-N180UBE.

lsusb shows as: obda:8172 and Realtek Corp RTL8191SU lsmod shows: r8172u

Could someone step me thru the install?

Any more info I'll provide.

If you insert the device and a driver loads in lsmod, I think that's all the installation you need. Didn't the laptop come with a built-in wireless card? Is it not working? Is the wireless switch set to enable wireless: rfkill list all. When you click the Network Manager icon, does it see networks? I believe the driver is actually r8712u. — chili555, Mar 31, 2013 at 1:50

Found install documentation here:

Download and unzip the file. Includes readme and install.sh. Will work on this now. Will not always be using the USB adapter.
