I have been trying to install mercusys wifi adpater in ubuntu 16.04. Typing lsusb returns:

marcos@spac-lia:~$ lsusb 
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1a2c:0e24 China Resource Semico Co., Ltd 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 2c4e:0100  
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0951:1625 Kingston Technology DataTraveler 101 II
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

After testing, I could realize that my wifi adapter information corresponds to:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 2c4e:0100

I have tried to install the drivers with ndisgtk but it is not working

I just added your device to my fork of Mange's rtl8192eu-linux-driver on github, in terminal

sudo apt-get install git dkms build-essential
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192eu-linux-driver
sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

Reboot

You will have to remove any driver installed with ndisgtk before this will work

Edit I figured out I had a typo

sudo dkms remove rtl8192eu/1.0 --all
sudo dkms uninstall rtl8192eu/1.0
sudo rm -r /usr/src/rtl8192eu-1.0
sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms/rtl8192eu
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver
git pull
cd
sudo dkms add ./rtl8192eu-linux-driver
sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0

Reboot
