Cannot connect to Wifi on Linux Mint Version 4.15.0-45
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Fresh install of Linux Mint but I cannot connect to my wifi. I have used an ethernet to install all automatic updates and such that come with the fresh install.
ifconfig gives out:

To get the WiFi chipset working/build the necessary kernel mode, run in the command line:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential dkms
git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
Reboot.
From HP Forums No WIFI presence on Ubuntu 16.04
The DKMS here in these instructions is a good idea, as it will automatically compile and install this module on any new kernel version installed. e.g. this module will be present on future kernel updates as long it is compatible with the version of the new installed kernel.
