Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites installed:
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms
```

Clone this repository:

```
git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git
```
Set it up as a DKMS module:

```
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes
```

Build and install it:

```
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.11
```

Refresh the module list:

```
sudo depmod -a
```

Ensure the native (and broken) kernel driver is blacklisted:

```

And reboot. You're done.
