First, we install all packages required for the installation of the driver using this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms git
Now clone the git repository:
git clone https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux.git
Move to the new folder created:
cd rtl8192eu-linux
Remove current drivers (check with dkms status or sudo lshw -C network what drivers are available):
sudo rmmod rtl8xxxu
Blacklist the current driver:
echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" >> ./blacklist-rtl8xxxu.conf
sudo mv ./blacklist-rtl8xxxu.conf /etc/modprobe.d/
And finally install the driver:
sudo dkms add .
sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
Reboot or load the driver by doing sudo modprobe 8192eu and everything should work now.

did all of the above exactly (without any error on the terminal), but:
the kernel module is not loading here (ubuntu 20.04.6 on kernel 5.4.0.216-generic)
“sudo modprobe 8129eu” gives me:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘8192eu’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
dmesg | grep 8192eu gives a ton of this:
