I am trying to install a driver (rtl8188eu) for my external WiFi card (TP-LINK TL-WN722N v2) using this tutorial :
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/blob/master/README.md
Both methods, one using make and the other using dkms display that kernel header files are missing.
I have tried 'apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' but failed to find such headers.
I have tried 'sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek' and even firmware-atheros without much success.
uname -r returns '3.10.73-ElementalX-N5X-1.16'
I am using nexus 5x and nethunter bullhead marshmallow version 6.0.1.
How can I get the proper kernel headers to complete WiFi realtek driver installation so I can use the external WiFi card ?
