COMFAST CF-WU810NWireless (Realtek 8188EUS) Driver installation

Question

I am new to Ubuntu and need your help with the driver installation of a COMFAST CF-WU810N. The vendor provides a CD with drivers, but when I Use

sudo bash install.sh

I get the following error:

         Authentication requested [root] for make driver:

How should I proceed?

Solution

You can install a driver this way. Connect to internet an alternative way and run in terminal:

sudo apt-get install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8188eu
sudo dkms install 8188eu/1.0

The first command installs git and dkms packages.

The second command downloads the driver source from github.

The last two commands install the driver using dkms.

The circa-2013 file is probably too old to compile in Ubuntu 15.04.

It worked!!. Thanks a lot. can you explain what individual command does?. I tried searching individually but it didnt make any sense to me.
