I found information that my new Edimax 7811UN v2 won't work out off the box. I then found this but I can't get it to work
https://github.com/icelaglace/MiSTer_WiFi_EW-7811UNv2
I am trying to to write the code as it says on "Installation" on the github page but It won't work.
I have zero knowledge about linux so maybe it is something really simple that I am missing.
I have placed the ko-file in /lib/modules/4.19.0-socfpga-r1/ and I have also placed rtl8188eufw.bin in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi (the last part is from the troubleshoot section on the page).
I had to create all these folders on the SDcard first so I get the feeling that I may be missing something. Or maybe it is something else.
This is how it looks for me when I try to run the code.

Re: Problem when trying to install wifi dongle through Linux terminal
I wrote a command to check kernel version and it seems to match.

Re: Problem when trying to install wifi dongle through Linux terminal
Should it be enough that I do the Installation part or do I also need to do the steps described under Compilation?
