Your device uses the rare and elusive driver 8812au. Please get a temporary wired ethernet or similar connection, go back to the terminal and do:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd ~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

Your wireless should now be working.

Post back any errors; warnings are probably alright. I will have one additional step.

I am trying this solution, but after the command github clone ... github is asking for username and password. Since I don't know that, I get a fatal: Authentications failed error. How do I get around that?

Please try this instead and, for the benefit of the searchers, let us know how it works: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62304.../623126#623126

I am getting a different error and I figured it was because of the difference in processors. Is there another program for the Intel chip set?

here is the errors I have been receiving.

We have no idea what ros.org is, but it isn't Ubuntu. I doubt that we can help you. Sorry.

This thread was started quite some time ago and has been hijacked several times.

I suggest that those of you still seeking help start your own individual threads that can be dealt with in a less confusing manner.

Thanks for your persistence here, chili555!

Closed.
