Hi, an Arch Linux user here. I just found your repo during another session of trying different drivers and configs to finally get wifi to work on my Cube i7. Neither lwfinger's driver nor the upstream rtl8xxxu driver would work. But your driver finally fixed it.

Since it was taking me so long to find your repo (because I wasn't smart enough to figure other Cube tablets would have the same wifi module) I wanted to drop you a line so you can possibly add the info to the Readme. That way other i7 owners might have it easier to find this. Thanks for the great work!

It does not work on my Cube i7 on ubuntu 17.04 kernel version 4.10.0-33-generic. lsmod | grep usbcore shows nothing. The wifi card will show networks but will always fail to connect. I will try arch again soon. The other driver also does not work with ubuntu 17.04.
