Please get a temporary wired ethernet connection and install the prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential

I downloaded the file you referenced and compiled it. All the needed changes as mentioned in the Quick Start are already made; you need do nothing extra.

Assuming the file is in Downloads, be sure the compressed file within is also extracted by right-clicking it and selecting 'Extract Here.' Now, back to the terminal:

cd ~/Downloads/Linux/DPO_GPL_RT5592STA_LinuxSTA_v2.6.0.0_20120326
sudo su
make
make install
modprobe rt5592sta
exit

On my 3.2.0-58 32-bit machine, it makes with several warnings but no errors. If the device works as expected, then all is well. If not, we'll try something else.

Thank you very much Chili555!!

Awesome!

You have compiled the driver for your currently running kernel only. When Update Manager installs a newer kernel version and asks you to reboot, you must recompile:

cd ~/Downloads/Linux/DPO_GPL_RT5592STA_LinuxSTA_v2.6.0.0_20120326
sudo su
make clean
make
make install
modprobe rt5592sta
exit

Please retain the file and these instructions for that time.

Please use thread tools at the top to mark Solved.
