I've successfully compiled and installed the drivers as following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
cd rtl8188eu
make all
sudo make install
sudo insmod 8188eu.ko

However, when I try to load it I get this error:

sudo wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i wlx5ca6e641663d
Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlx5ca6e641663d disabled_11b_rates=0
wlx5ca6e641663d: Failed to initialize driver interface

My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file looks fine:

network={
    ssid="VVV"
    #psk="password"
  psk=8d10e65f37d67d5f507fffabaa94dcb09855739486e4462021ac3d49b40a7e1b
}

What else should I try?

Thanks!
