If you see Realtek in Github, it is usually hacked drivers to work better than the original.

@Jerry
Been following this. Interesting to me that firmware-realtek is still in Debian backports while I could not find the package in multiverse. Is it named something else now or is realtek support only on git?

Command not found means that you are not in the folder where the install file is. Have another look at my previous instructions and try again.

Make sure you are inside the driver folder, then open a Terminal and do:
Code:
[Select]
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
follow whatever it says. You may or may not need to reboot after to get wifi.

Thanks for reply unfortunately friend was just visiting, does the driver have to be loaded again and if so how is this done?
The driver folder is on the desktop / the usb shows on ls usb/ the chip is rtl 8811cu / dkms is installed.
Would
sudo ./dkms -install.sh
sudo modprobe 8811cu
iw config
be the way to go? Found this between github and forum search but unsure if this is what I need
Thanks

Can your friend not load the drivers for you again?
