I would really appreciate your help. Im trying to install driver for the device mentioned above. I installed the firmware and the messages from iwconfig looks that way:

enp0s31f6  no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

enp0s20f0u2  no wireless extensions.

wlxc025e9198290  unassociated  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
      Mode:Managed  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
      Sensitivity:0/0  
      Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
      Power Management:off
      Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0
      Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
      Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

So the system recognizes the device and it shows the drivers i think:

lsmod | grep ath
ath9k_htc              77824  0
ath9k_common           36864  1 ath9k_htc
ath9k_hw              462848  2 ath9k_htc,ath9k_common
ath                    28672  3 ath9k_htc,ath9k_hw,ath9k_common
mac80211              778240  1 ath9k_htc
cfg80211              610304  5 ath9k_htc,mac80211,r8188eu,ath,ath9k_common

So i will really appreciate any help with installing this device. And the kernel version is 4.13.0-16-generic. The system is Ubuntu 17.10. Thanks guys.

edit: If it would help i followed this guide https://askubuntu.com/a/912507/761970

dmesg show this:

In the network manager i only see loopback and nothing more. Thanks for response @chili555 . I really appreciate your help :)

/UPDATE2/

So the version is written on the device and it's V2. Results:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1bcf:0005 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 22b8:2e25 Motorola PCS 
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2357:010c  
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

The driver r8188eu exists by default in kernel version 4.13; there is no need to install anything else. Let's correct the previous steps:

sudo dkms uninstall 8188eu/1.0 --all

Next, I do not know how the incorrect driver for the V1 device, ath9k_htc got loaded. Do you have a declaration in /etc/modules? If so, please remove it.

Next, let's check Network Manager:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Be certain that the file now reads:

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

After making any needed changes, save the file (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and exit nano (Ctrl+x).

Reboot. Is there any improvement?
