DONE AND WORKING!

The blog had the answer, although it did not go quite according to the commands in the blog. Here are the hightlights, taken from the bash history, after the event:

The first command included a kernel-generic for the ubuntu users, which had to be removed.

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes && dkms install 8192cu/1.10 && depmod -a

failed due to wrong version - corrected 1.10 to 1.11:

Code:

cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

To blacklist the existing failed drivers

Code:

dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes && dkms install 8192cu/1.11 && depmod -a
modprobe 8192cu

Threw an error - couldn't find what it needed, but the correct command was in the README.md file

Code:

less rtl8192cu-fixes/README.md

Followed the commands in the readme:

Code:

dkms install 8192cu/1.11

Is what finally built the corrected driver.

Code:

modprobe 8192cu

had a problem finding this, but a new boot image file had been created by the dkms command, and after a reboot, the wifi was working!!!

Many thanks all for the help - and a special thanks to Adam Scheller who had the answer to the faulty driver. It was a bit of a marathon, but it was worth it!
