I have bought a Leoxsys WiFi USB device to use WiFi in my PC. Its working absolutely fine in Windows7 as its provided with windows7 Drivers. Installing and using drivers in windows 7 is easy and Its working fine.

But coming to Ubuntu linux 12.04LTS its not working . Actually I found drivers for all OS's in Device's official site. Here is the link . But they did not provide any guide to how to install those drivers in linux. I am new to Ubuntu, can any one help regarding this. I want create WiFi hotspot with it. I tried aphotspot and some tutorials on the web, nothing worked.

Can any know the solution for my problem.

  1. Open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+T.
  2. Change to the extracted directory: cd ~/Downloads/Realtek\ Ap\ Adapt/driver/Linux. (You have to replace this by the path on your system)
  3. Allow the installer to be executed: chmod +x install.sh
  4. Run the installer as root: sudo ./install.sh

If any errors occure, add them to your question, if you can't fix them on your own.
