Try compiling with EXTRAWIFI="no"

[codesnas]

Thanks, after disabling the wifi module, the error of rtl8811cu was skipped.

This rtl8811cu cache missing problem, will it be fixed in the future?

This rtl8811cu cache missing problem, will it be fixed in the future?

You are using old build framework from master branch which was completely abandoned by the team 3 weeks ago. https://www.armbian.com/newsflash/code-freeze-and-moving-to-new-framework/ I would advise moving to main. But. There are some changes, documentation is not yet done, and we have some stability issues. "Now" is the worse time ... few weeks from today should be production ready, most obvious bugs squashed.

We froze sources in attempt to keep master in at least build-able state, but we didn't cover all corner cases - when 3rd party repository is removed - that didn't happen in past few years. Since our resources are slim and R&D almost entirely financed from our private pockets, there is little we can do. It is already crazy to maintain one project branch with so little people, while two is impossible.

This issue can be closed. The problem was that on the deprecated master branch, this repo doesn't exist anymore:

https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118

It's referenced here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/lib/functions/compilation/patch/drivers_network.sh

On the "main" branch the problem is resolved.
