I'm trying to install a wi-fi driver for my wi-fi dongle on Ubuntu. The guide says I should:

extract the folder (done)

then type sudo make(done)

then type sudo apt-get install build-essential(done)

and last type sudo modprobe 8812au.

Now this is where it stops, when I press enter I get the message:

modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found.

The folder looks like this:

I think the steps should be:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git

cd rtl8812au

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe 8812au

If you encounter errors, please post them; warnings are probably alright.
