My Realtek 802.11n WiFi card isn't being claimed by the drivers from here. I installed led the drivers using the install.sh script given in the decompressed tar.gz. UbuntuMATE is running on a Raspberry Pi 2.

*-usb:4 UNCLAIMED

             description: Generic USB device

             product: 802.11n NIC

             vendor: Realtek

             physical id: 5

             bus info: usb@1:1.5

             version: 2.00

             serial: 00e04c000001

             capabilities: usb-2.10

             configuration: maxpower=500mA speed=480Mbit/s

Above is the result of sudo lshw in terminal, which shows the unclaimed USB device, the WiFi card.

As I'm new to Linux in general, I have no idea as to where to go from here, so I'd appreciate any help. If you need any more information, just ask and I'll post it.

I've just found out that your chip is actually rtl8192eu. As far as I know, there is no driver for it in Ubuntu's repo. However, as v0yAgEr mentioned on OSMC forums, there is driver for that chip works for kernel version 3.18 on GitHub. I modified v0yAgEr's tutorial to a way hopefully would work for you:

1. 
   

   Install build-essential:

   
   
   
   
   
   • From the computer have Internet access, go to Ubuntu Packages, download build-essential, its dependencies and its dependencies' dependencies to a folder called bldessen
     
   
   
   • Copy that folder to your Pi, then install all the debs by sudo cd bldessen && dkpg --install *.deb
     
   
   
   
   



2. Download the driver from GitHub (click the Download Zip button), copy to your Pi, then extract it: unzip rtl8192eu-master.zip



3. 
   

   Compile your driver:

   
   
   

   cd rtl8192eu-master
   
   make ARCH=arm
   
   sudo make ARCH=arm  install
   
   sudo bash -c 'echo "options 8192eu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0">/etc/modprobe.d/8192eu.conf'
   
   

   
   


4. 
   

   Test if the driver loaded:

   
   
   

   modprobe 8192eu
   
   modinfo 8192eu
