I will outline the usual process to compile the files. This may or may not compile on your 3.19-xx kernel. If not, post the errors and I will propose another solution.
First, remove the device. Next, in the terminal, with a temporary internet connection by ethernet, tethered or whatever means possible:
Next, navigate to the location of the Makefile; in my case:
Now let's try a trial compilation:
If there are errors, please post them here and we'll attempt to fix them. If there are no errors (warnings may be OK), then install:
Insert the device. Is your wireless now working?
EDIT: Since we know now that the driver files included with your device will not compile in kernel version 3.19-xx, please try:
Please post any errors as before.
You have compiled the driver for your current kernel version only. When Update Manager offers a later kernel version, known as linux-image, after the requested reboot, recompile:
Please retain the file and these instructions for that time.
