r92su driver for realtek rtl8192su usb wireless adapte

[Julian Gordon]

I have downloaded the dirver from http://github.com/chunkeey/rtl8192su for
the adapter.

Upon running the make, it reports an error: it cannot find
IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS in file r92/su/sta.h:120:26.

Where can I find the correct defintion for this varaible or an alternative
to it?

I am running on ubuntu 12.04 64b, with kernel 3.2.0-58-generic.

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be
changed until it is faced.

Ah, IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS is probably just the tip. There are a few more
definitions and functions missing for the driver to compile with anything
older than 3.10 [0].

Either you can update the kernel to 3.10+ (if possible to 3.12). Or, if
you want to stick with 3.2,0-58-generic, then take a look backports [1]
project. [However, this is more complicated since you'll have to integrate
r92su into backports first].

Christian,

Thanks for the reply. After I sent the email, I continued to do some more
investigation, and am presently downloading the OS's needed to upgrade from
12.04 to 13.10 (or 12). I was hoping to be able to remain on 12.04 for its
LTS.

Oh well, that's life in the boonies.

Thanks for this useful tool - especially of those of us living out of the
mainstream, down in the far south of Africa where our device choice is much
more limited.

Regards,
Julian

You can update the kernel in 12.04 LTS to 3.12.0-031200-generic (that is the 
32-bit version) without changing the rest of the system. I just did this in a VM 
and it worked fine. There are a number of postings on how to do this.
