Fails to build on kernel 4.12 #7

Open theredbaron1834 opened 7 years ago

theredbaron1834 commented 7 years ago

Trying to install this rtl8822bu's driver on linux kernel 4.12 with Arch Linux, and it is getting a make failure. This is a fully updated system.

Here is the log.

This is an Edimax AC1200 dual band "11ac wave 2", ew-7822ulc.

Any ideas? Any more info needed?

Using a fork by stylpen it goes a bit further, but still crashes.

I'm in the same boat here. I'm using Fedora 26, which uses Kernel 4.12

ghost commented 7 years ago

here is my private Aur-package compiling against kernel 4.12 and linux-lts kernel 4.9: https://github.com/shelby-cobra/rtl8822bu-dkms i use it successfully since several weeks . you are free to try it. you can ignore the error-message

Error! Could not find module source directory. Directory: /usr/src/rtl8822bu-dkms-1.0.0.9 does not exist.

the source is copiied to /usr/src/rtl8822bu-1.0.0.9. i'll fix it next time.

I cloned the repo from https://github.com/stylpen/rtl8822bu.git#60eff7ac7f465ef45bdff25f09329145a6178ae2 And I made the following modifications then the make was successful.

I still don't know if it works or not :-)

FYI there is a fork here: https://github.com/MeissnerEffect/rtl8822bu.git

Verified working with Debian's 4.14.0-3-amd64.

Sweetchuck commented 6 years ago

https://github.com/MeissnerEffect/rtl8822bu.git works on openSUSE Tumbleweed with kernel 4.16.7 as well. :-)
