How to install USB WIFI Network Adapter Driver in Qubes ?

[Bernie]

How can I install a USB WIFI Network Adapter Driver ?

I bought an external usb wifi adapter and sticked it inside the usb slot.
dom0 does not give me any notification.

I do see an unnamed device listed once I type in "lsusb" in the dom0 terminal.

drivers are downloaded how and where to install them now ?

The drivers should be installed in the TemplateVM on which your USB qube is
based. In this case, it might make sense for your USB qube to be the same as
your NetVM (sys-net).

I suppose that depends on the drivers. If they're available as packages from
the yum/dnf repos, then you can install them that way. If not, then you can
enable network access from the TemplateVM and download them from wherever
they're available (e.g., your device manufacturer's website), then install
them according to the instructions provided by your device manufacturer. This
part (installing drivers) isn't really related to Qubes. You can almost think
of it as installing the drivers on a standard Linux machine.

I try to install the driver into my debian template vm but I always get the same error with many different installation options:

Installation

Ensure you have the necessary prerequisites:

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

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git

Set it up as a DKMS module:

sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes

Build and install it (this version number may change, it is .10 as of october 19 2015

sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10

Refresh the module list:

sudo depmod -a

Ensure the native (and broken) kernel driver is blacklisted:

sudo cp ./rtl8192cu-fixes/blacklist-native-rtl8192.conf /etc/modprobe.d/

And reboot. You're done.

this command always gives me an error: (dkms)
sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64 cannot be found. Please install the linux-headers-4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64 package, or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located

And have you tried to install the linux-headers-4.1.13-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64
package?

Perhaps you should also try the Fedora template?
