Bought an Edimax-N150 EW-7611ULB after being unable to install a different one, specifically as I was able to find how-to's on installing the edimax on linux.
As you can see, the ID is the same: 7392:a611

However,
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu.git
cd rtl8723bu
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot
... does not result in device beeing usable, showing up in WiFi list or anything of that sorts. No errors, either.
I also have checked all ticks except "Source code" in "Ubuntu Software" tab of Software & Updates, selected "Main server" in the dropdown, but no entries show up in the Aditional Drivers tab.
Am I supposed to add the device to some boot sequence, anything like that?
Even though I'd describe myself as nerdy, I'm pretty new to linux, so please don't assume I know stuff "anyone should know when using linux".
