    (Especially relevant: this set up for the kelebek33 Driver, for the alternative one check the Developer Docs…)
    To Add it to the DKMS Modules:

    Again to Build it with DKMS try:

    sudo dkms build rtl8188fu/1.0

    Now to Install it play:

    sudo dkms install rtl8188fu/1.0

    Next update the Linux Kernel Firmware with:

    Finally, to list the available Wifi Interfaces run:

    ifconfig | grep wlan

    The grep Command refine the output List showing only the Entries matching the Keyword.
