    Linux Z 3.16.0-18-generic #25-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 26 02:44:15 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    The stock included driver fails to connect but says nothing, this other one asks for the wifi password again.

    I have a second tp link card that works, but has less range and less max theorical speed.

    Meanwhile the driver was updated. Delete it and download it again:

    Code:
    sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9

    when was this updated?

    In any case, how do i delete it? Just renaming the folder and downloading it again, and trying that, wont work:

    rcocchiararo@Z:~/Dev$ sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9Module 8192cu/1.9 already installed on kernel 3.16.0-18-generic/x86_64

    EDIT: i found how, 1.9 was already installed tho, that was what i had, but maybe there was an update with no version change? testing

    sudo dkms remove 8192cu/1.9 --all

    Hey,

    I just bought the NetGear WNA1000M 802.11bgn [Realtek RTL8188CUS] USB adapter yesterday.
    It works perfectly with my WIndows 10 Technical Preview, but on Ubuntu 14.04 1 LTS, it doesn't work at all.

    I've spent the whole of yesterday crawling through forums, trying various methods/fixes/patches etc, without any luck.
    You guys are my last hope. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Change the driver via cable connection:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms git 
    git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
    sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
    sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.9
    echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    Reboot

    have you tried the driver from his github? it IS your last choice.

    It does not work on kubuntu 14.10 for my dual antenna device tho.

    then you are like me, screwed

    My TP-Link WN8200ND does nothing with the built in driver, and with this fix, keeps asking for the password.

    Meanwhile, i am using another usb card that is slower and with less range, considering going back to windows >P
