I am asking you to make compatible or help me

The make file is not working

Take a look here - https://github.com/cilix-lab/ubuntu-wrt

Thank you for trying but what I want you is a downloadable driver that I can run make command

ValCher1961 commented 4 years ago

I make the driver mwlwifi in the kernel linux. I take the current driver and embed it in the core. Example.

  1. Download the driver. 
    git clone https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi.git
mkdir drivers/net/wireless/marvell
cp -r mwlwifi ./drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwlwifi
  2. Download the desired version of the kernel. 
    wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.4.20.tar.xz && tar xvf linux-5.4.20.tar.xz
  3. Copy the driver to the kernel. 
    cp -r drivers linux-5.4.20
  4. I build the driver into the core with a patch - https://github.com/ValCher1961/McDebian_WRT3200ACM/blob/master/kernel-4.19.X/mvdrv.patch 
    cp -rf mvdrv.patch linux-5.4.20
cd linux-5.4.20 && patch -p1 < mvdrv.patch
  5. Next configuration of the for kernel and inclusion driver (for module) 
    make menuconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi- modules

I see but is this assuming that I have a wrt device or unversival Linux

I just tried building the current master on Debian buster, and cannot see any issue.

I believe this has been working for ages. I've certainly test-built the driver on Debian many times in the past without doing anything extra-ordinary.

You'll probably get better feedback if you show us why you believe that "The make file is not working"....

professorUnknown commented 4 years ago

Can you put it in to monitor mode?

bmork commented 4 years ago

I'm finished here unless you decide to share what you are trying to do. As it is now, it looks mostly like trolling. Which I guess must be fun.

professorUnknown commented 4 years ago

I just want to use my surface pro to hack my WiFi network

midozalouk commented 2 years ago

Hello bmork thanks for the great work can you please help us to provide driver for chipset 88W8897 that support monitor mode to be used in linux Thanks

midozalouk commented 2 years ago

I have the following error when i tried your command No rule to make target 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by 'arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h'. Stop.

how can i proceed from there ?

bmork commented 2 years ago

No rule to make target 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by 'arch/x86/include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h'.

And you successfully can build other kernel modules on your system? If not, then I don't think the problem is related to this project/driver at all.

tapper82 commented 2 years ago

The driver is ded anyway!

midozalouk commented 2 years ago

I have managed to compile it after removing part of the code that checks the firmware signature in hif/pcie/fwdl.c file

if (curr_iteration == 0) { wiphy_err(hw->wiphy, "Exhausted curr_iteration for fw signature\n"); goto err_download; }

the problem now that it loads with no mac address

and i can't activate it with either ifconfig or ip set

localhost / # sudo ip link set dev wlan0 up
RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error 
localhost / # sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error

this is dmesg
