The WiFi USB dongles based on the newest RT5572 chip set do not work out of the box on Ubuntu. Unex DNUR-V72, D-Link DWA-160 Rev B and TP-Link TL-WDN3200 dongles are based on this chipset.

2. Un-plug the WiFi USB dongle from your computer.

6. Change to the directory that contains the driver's source code downloaded previously. For example,
