Changes for DKMS build

[dmig]

I dropped original driver archive, added dkms.conf and made small fix to Makefile. Without this fix to Makefile dkms fails to build 8732bu.ko.

This configuration runs well for me with kernels being updating automatically.

[lwfinger]

Your change to Makefile are OK and I assume that the DKMS changes are OK, but why did you delete the "original" archive when that code is in fact a new version?

The main driver is "v4.3.6.11_12942.20141204_BTCOEX20140507-4E40". The code that you deleted is "v4.3.16_14189.20150519_BTCOEX20150119-5844" and is about 6 months newer. I added it to the repo so that I could have a user test it to see if it fixed any problems with the main code. I am not happy that you are deleting it, and I will not do so. If it interferes with a DKMS build, then fix dkms.conf!

[dmig]

There were no real need of deleting it, I just wanted to remove file useless for building.

I think, better way is not to keep it in repo as archive, but make a branch or another repo with its contents

[lwfinger]

Possible, but then both versions are not available at the same time for comparison while in the master branch. If you are so short of disk space that removing it is important, then you had best fork and remove my repo. Of course, that would complicate your following my updates.

[dmig]

You say, code in archive was "v4.3.16_14189.20150519_BTCOEX20150119-5844", but what I found is: include/rtw_version.h:1:#define DRIVERVERSION "v4.3.6.11_12942.20141204_BTCOEX20140507-4E40"

And your commit message for that archive said: "Add original tar file to repo".

Both are there. It depends on which branch you check out.

@lwfinger Thanks for your great work,the driver works perfectly with Comfast wu725b usb dongle(http://www.comfast.com.cn/product/item-260.html) ,but another module cannot find any ssid(http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/RTL8723BU-COMBO-module-14-pin-RL-UM02WBS-8723BU-V1-2-13-4-12-2mm-WIFI-GSPI/704833_32471521628.html) ,the module test on win10,works ok.

pi@raspberrypi:~/test/rtl8723bu $ iwlist wlan0 scanning wlan0 No scan results

I want to test 4.3.16 branch,but it seems to be have master branch only.

`pi@raspberrypi:~/test/rtl8723bu $ git checkout v4.3.16 error: pathspec 'v4.3.16' did not match any file(s) known to git. pi@raspberrypi:~/test/rtl8723bu $ git branch

• master `

could you give me some advices?

What does 'git branch -a' show?

[howardqiao]

` pi@raspberrypi:~/rtl8723bu $ git branch -a

• master

  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master

  remotes/origin/master

pi@raspberrypi:~/rtl8723bu $

[lwfinger]

You did not do a full 'git clone'. If you had, you would get

finger@linux-1t8h:~/rtl8723bu> git branch -a

• master v4.3.16 remotes/origin/master

[howardqiao]

Sorry,I am a novice at github, so right? http://imgur.com/a/Av2ME http://imgur.com/f029H0w http://imgur.com/WhZpScs

[lwfinger]

After you clone the repo, you need to cd into that direstory before other git commands will work.

[howardqiao]

Very sorry,could you try to clone and have a test,still can not find another branch.like this pic. http://i.imgur.com/ozXIDC4.png
