Please add a line in README.md in order to explain that someone needs to blacklist rtl8192cu in order for rtl8xxxu driver to work. I had to do that on Fedora 27 x64, Kernel: 4.14.14-300.fc27.x86_64, and it works good.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192cu.conf

install rtl8192cu /bin/false

It already says:

Make sure to blacklist the older rtl8192cu driver, which tends to be loaded by default otherwise.

You are wise to blacklist both rtl8xxxu and rtl8192cu in order to ensure the driver from this github project, 8192cu, can load.

As dlech pointed out, this is a good idea, and already done. :)
