I'm using a fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a PC, which mainly uses a wired network, but a wifi connection is also needed from time to time. For that, I'm using a wifi dongle - which works OK when dual boot as Windows, but when using Ubuntu: it DOES detect networks at home- but does NOT connect any.



TP-Links site refers to driver installation, includig a well detailed instructions doing so link to TP-LINK driver, which fails at very beginning as shown below at ATTCH #1.



Second try: referring to an almost exact problem posted here, but again, fails again at make



Appreciate you kind help
