GOAL: INSTALL Alfa AWS036AC wifi adapter. it's rtl8812au.
FOLLOWING THIS TUTORIAL: https://www.learningpenguin.net/2018/01/30/install-realtek-rtl8812au-wifi-driver-linux/
I have succesfully done up to the step: "sudo dkms add ./rtl8812au"
issue step: "sudo dkms build rtl8812au/4.2.2"
result of command:
------------------------
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all KVER=4.15.0-22-generic...(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for rtl8812au: 4.2.2 not found
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-22-generic (x86_64)
