Install Rosewill-RNX-MiniN1-RWLD-110001 usb network adapter in Ubuntu

Today, I received the usb Rosewill wireless adapter that i ordered, and plugged into my Ubuntu laptop, only to find that it did not work.

After finding out on blogs and the rosewill website, it seems that you have to compile the driver for your distro. However Rosewill makes it really easy, and provides a script that does all the work for you. All you have to do is download the driver zip file, unzip it and run the install script.

here is the link to the Rosewill 8192cu driver version 3.3.0_2971

1) download the driver
2) unzip
3) on the command line make the install.sh executable (chmod +x install.sh)
4) run the executable. (./install.sh)
