Not exactly sure what all this means but I can't build the driver. Help would be much appriciated.

Got it working, I think I just patched it wrong. But I am getting the same depmod error as the other guy.

Can you share the workaround? I am getting same error Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

cyates559 commented 7 years ago

I don't even remember what I did with this card honestly, I think I gave it to a friend who has Windows. Sorry bud.

Same issue here. Not been able to pinpoint a fix.

agerwick commented 7 years ago

The fix is to remove the offending code, which is not an important part of the driver. It just adds the date and time after the version number. On line 5041 in sta/sta_cfg.c replace this line: snprintf(extra, size, "Driver version-%s, %s %s\n", STA_DRIVER_VERSION, DATE, TIME ); with this: snprintf(extra, size, "Driver version-%s\n", STA_DRIVER_VERSION);

I will upload a fix shortly but I am unable to test it due to not having this card any more.
