I get this message when trying,
stephend@stephend-desktop:~/Downloads/rtl8188eu$ sudo modprobe 8188eu.ko
[sudo] password for stephend:
modprobe: FATAL: Module 8188eu.ko not found.
stephend@stephend-desktop:~/Downloads/rtl8188eu$
Now I'm assuming I need to move the driver but do a move the entire folder
or just the script itself to the usr/lib folder?
