So I assume that the module not is loaded....
Try sudo lshw -c network
and lsmod
If not is loaded, try to load it manually with modprobe. If fails loading the module should give you and error to investigate it.
It seems I installed against a kernel that was replaced on reboot
At install earlier today:
$ sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make' all KVER=4.15.0-76-generic.........................

DKMS: build completed.

Running module version sanity check.

but I'm now on
$ uname -a

I did sudo dkms add .
but the new kernel might have already been built and waiting for reboot?
Anyway I've re-installed and rebooted and it's all working

thanks!
I've installed the driver as per the instructions and all seemed to go well:
$ dkms status rtl8192eu, 1.0, 4.15.0-76-generic, x86_64: installed
But on boot or USB insertion the device doesn't come up under
lshw -c network
orip a
Prior to install it was loading the rtl8xxxu driver, now there isn't any listing.
lsusb shows the device but no device name:
when I plug in the device dmesg only gives
and udevadm gives
Is there something else I can do to check what's happening? I looked at changing the log level but there's nothing for rtl* under /proc/net
