EZCAST 5200 driver installation procedure

[youle31]

Hi,

Thanks very much for your work @whitebatman2 .

As I spent a bit of time to install my wifi dongle EZCAST 5200 on Linux mint 19.2 64bits, I share the procedure I followed to have it working.

• clone the git repo or download the archive and extract.
• In the folder rtl8821CU, edit Makefile
• At line 860 you should have this: ifeq ($(CONFIG_POWER_SAVING), y)
• Change it to ifeq ($(CONFIG_POWER_SAVING), n)
• Save Makefile
• Open a terminal in the folder rtl8821CU
• Type the following commands:

make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8821cu

• To launch automatically 8821cu module at start, go to /etc/modules-load.d
  and edit modules.conf file

Add this at the end of the file:

8821cu

Note: While I was writting this, the wifi was disconnected 1 time. I unplugged, then plugged again the dongle to have the wifi again.
