compile driver for rtl8192su

compile driver for rtl8192su

[walter strametz]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 276 bytes --]

Hi - I try to get my D-Link N300 running and compiled the sources on
github (chunkeey - rtl8192su).  Other trials also failed, because the
driver-source is not compatible with the (newer) kernel.

See more information in the enclosed textfile .

Can you help me?

Thx, Walter

the 4.4.y kernel is too old.

Only kernels built from the latest wireless-testing.git are compatible.
If you want to know more about wireless-testing.git then visit the
wireless wiki's Git-Guide:
