I am using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.10. This is my kernel version:

Linux 3.5.0-19-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 13 17:48:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My wireless card is an AWUSU36H

enter image description here

The first thing I do to install the driver is copy the driver from the CD to the Downloads folder.

cd /media/me/AWUS036H/Drivers/RTL8187L/Unix (Linux)/Linux driver for kernel 2.6.X$ 
cp rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar.gz ~/Downloads/

Then I extract the tar

tar xvfz rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007.tar.gz

I navigate into the extracted folder, and I try to follow the instructions in the Readme.txt

cd rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007

This are the contents of the folder:

drv.tar.gz   makedrv     stack.tar.gz  wlan0rmv
ieee80211    ReadMe.txt  wlan0dhcp     wlan0up
ifcfg-wlan0  rtl8187     wlan0down     wpa_supplicant-0.4.9

This is what the Readme.txt says:

Release Date: 2006-02-09, ver 1.2^M
RTL8187 Linux driver version 1.2^M
^M
   --This driver supports RealTek RTL8187 Wireless LAN driver for ^M
     Fedora Core 2/3/4/5, Debian 3.1, Mandrake 10.2/Mandriva 2006, ^M
     SUSE 9.3/10.1/10.2, Gentoo 3.1, etc.^M
   - Support Client mode for either infrastructure or adhoc mode^M
   - Support WEP and WPAPSK connection^M
^M
< Component >^M
The driver is composed of several parts:^M
        1. Module source code^M
          stack.tar.gz^M
          drv.tar.gz^M
        ^M
        2. Script ot build the modules^M
          makedrv^M
^M
        3. Script to load/unload modules^M
          wlan0up^M
          wlan0down ^M
^M
        4. Script and configuration for DHCP^M
"ReadMe.txt" [readonly] 140 lines, 4590 characters

So what I do know is extract both of the compressed files:

sudo tar xvfz drv.tar.gz
sudo tar xvfz stack.tar.gz

This 2 commands will add some data to the folders ieee80211 and rtl8187

At this point I get lost, and I don't know what to do. If I go in each of this 2 folders and I run the sudo make command then I get errors like this one:

 sudo makemake -C /lib/modules/3.5.0-19-generic/build M=/home/me/Downloads/rtl8187_linux_26.1025.0328.2007/rtl8187 modules

If I try to run any of the script ./makedrv that the instructions describe, then I also get an error:
