please help thanks

Hi Jack, this was caused by a breaking change in version 4.15 of the kernel. My fork currently has been tested on up to 4.17, feel free to try it out.

@kaduke It seems like I installed the driver correctly.. My kernel is 4.15.0.36. I can successfully run sudo make install but when I disconnect my ethernet cable, nothing happens. I tried rebooting and still no wifi. Am I missing a step after installing? I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with the previously mentioned kernel. I am using an X299 motherboard and my secure boot is "disabled" in the "Windows OS Configuration" menu. I don't know if this means that secure boot is disabled in ubuntu also, but this is the only place I could find "secure boot" in the bios. I hope you can help. Thanks!
