kernel 4.15rc1 build fails.. #83

Open oscarbg opened 6 years ago

oscarbg commented 6 years ago

has compilation issues

DaveC49 commented 6 years ago

also kernel 4.13.0-26-generic generating -Weeror=implicit-function-declaration error on the following calls: allow_signal(SIGTERM) if (signal_pending (current)) flush_signals(current)

DaveC49 commented 6 years ago

I've tried several other repositories with rt8812au drivers with the same result whether compiling and installing directly or using dkms

Jarrux commented 6 years ago

I have the same problem due to a kernel update from 4.10.0-28-generic to 4.13.-26-generic

Unable to compile under the new kernel. I came back to older version, and everything was fine.

@Jarrux I reverted and it works. Didn't even need to recompile. I guess until they make something stable then i'll stick to 4.10

DaveC49 commented 6 years ago

You may find it safer to revert to 4.4 rather than 4.10. Ubuntu and others have announced that 4.10 will not be patched for the meltdown and Sceptre vulnerabilities whereas 4.4 and 4.13 have been already.

This commit seems to be fixing issues with the new timer interface found in 4.15 (worked for me): https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/commit/f221a169f281dab9756a176ec2abd91e0eba7d19

Support for 4.15 kernel should now work (or at least compile) with commits I added to the 4.3.20 branch. Can you test it?

fbelzile commented 6 years ago

Just tested it on 4.15.10-300.fc27.x86_64. It builds with no errors but after trying to install it with "modprobe -a 8812au" it didn't detect my wireless adapter (D-Link DWA-171 A1). Reverting to this driver worked: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

What's the USB ID (lsusb)

diederikdehaas commented 6 years ago

According to https://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-171_rev_A1 it's 2001:3314 and it's already part of os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c, but it's in the CONFIG_RTL8821A section. In the aircrack-ng repo, they have CONFIG_RTL8821A = y, whereas it's CONFIG_RTL8821A = n in my repo. I'm 99% certain that's the cause of it.

diederikdehaas commented 6 years ago

Changing the n to a y will result in a compile error though as my hal/phydm/rtl8821a folder is present, but empty.

TBF: you're probably better off using their driver/repo. They actually seem to know what they're doing ;-)
