I got cheap Ebay wifi dongle from HongKong, Im trying to set it up on my ubuntu server.

Occasionally need to move server, so it cannot always be connected to router via lan.

Anyhow, usb wifi came with a driver cd. I uploaded files to my home directory and tried to run install script (RTL 8188cus): sudo bash install.sh

But I get error:

Authentication requested [root] for make driver:
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-server/build M=/home/minime/RTL 8188cus/Linux/driver/rtl8192CU_linux_v2.0.1324.20110126  modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-server'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `8188cus/Linux/driver/rtl8192CU_linux_v2.0.1324.20110126'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38-8-server'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
Compile make driver error: 2, Please check error Mesg

Any ideas what Im doing wrong?

There is another driver folder for linux called: RTL 81XX, which doesn't have install.sh at all! I tried to use make command, but I get:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Any help? this is first time I'm installing driver from source.

Im on Ubuntu 11.04 server.
