I solved this in ubuntu by making sure that my kernel version matched the release version stated in the tables shown under the Manual installation instructions. Hope that helps.

zmleitao commented 7 years ago

I am having the exact same error on Fedora 26 -4.12.9-300.fc26.x86_64. How can I solve it?

I've also received a similar error.

OS: Linux Mint 18.2 based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Kernel: 4.13.x (above) and currently using the Linux Mint recommended 4.10.x kernel

Just a quick update so @FreedomBen sees this also.

I was on kernel 4.13.x and that was the cause of my issues getting this driver compiled and working (and the above error) due to my OS and kernel combination not playing nicely or missing some dependencies somehow.

I switched back to the recommended kernel and everything works fine.

The recommended branch was Ubuntu 17.X and that was weird but it still works fine. Pay attention to the kernel version and ignore the name of the branch itself. Kernel is what is important. If all else fails then downgrade an entire minor version (like from 4.11.x to 4.10.x) and keep going until it works.

I would recommend only using even-numbered kernels. The odd ones seem to be for more beta/dev purposes and have issues working depending on your system/os/setup. So 4.12.x and 4.10.x and 4.8.x would be recommended.

@FreedomBen Feel free to close this if @jcdenton2k 's suggestion works. I ended up installing Fedora and it just worked without me having to fiddle with the driver.
