I downloaded this zip file as suggested in How to install Asus USB-N14 Adapter?

My adapter comes with a dvd including a file named Asus_USB-N14_LinuxSTA_Drive.tar.bz2, contents as shown:

Contents of included file

What can I do to use the file? Which file should I use? How do I install? I do not know how to use the file from the link at the top or the files pictured on the included DVD.

I am on a Dell Inspiron 5520 which originally came with Ubuntu before it was replaced by the reseller. I uninstalled everything and installed Ubuntu 2 days ago.

  • Does that mean, when I get dvds with install files that are .deb files, I extract them to a folder in home and run [cd "folder name" sudo make install]? does the disc still need to be inserted while I run the commands?

  • The disk is not needed. And deb files are not installed this way.

  • Is your device working now with rtl8192cu?

You can install the driver this way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8192cu-dkms linux-firmware

and reboot.

And you do not need any disk ;-)

  • Where did you extract the files to? Did you create Driver folder?

  • How is this not an rt2800usb device? $ modinfo rt2800usb | grep 17E8 alias: usb:v0B05p17E8d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in*

  • @chili555 look into the rt2800usb driver code. It is not there. I guess this code is added by some mask.

  • @Pilot6 There it is; I posted it. What does modinfo rt2800usb | grep -i 17e8 tell you?
