Universam Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Can't compile my RTL8188eu driver any more since upgrade from 5.14 to 5.15. Any advice where they gone or how to fix the make file? Background: the shipped driver are broken when it comes to WPA PEAP Enterprise. The wifi module quickly overheats and stops. My current understanding is that this driver uses hardware encryption which overloads under this condition. My solution was to use these driver, that apparently don't use HW encryption: https://github.com/universam1/rtl8188eu Unfortunately, they don't compile any more now because of missing kernel files. Any help? Thanks
wildcat_paris Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 please make sure you have installed the proper linux-headers-* linux-headers-dev-* packages I upgraded from 5.14 to 5.15 on my nanopiM1 and I didn't have the linux-headers-dev-sun8i installed gr@nanopim1:~$ sudo aptitude Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-dev-sun8i. (Reading database ... 48852 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack .../linux-headers-dev-sun8i_5.15_armhf.deb ... Unpacking linux-headers-dev-sun8i (5.15) ...

Universam Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Thank you, I've checked and today even newer version 5.16 available to install! Unfortunately, the make is still broken... Can you give me an idea what has changed, how to adjust the Makefiles now? I can't find any notes about changes here. So 5.14 worked ok, 5.15 + not any more.
Universam Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Ok found the solution, have to supply now the architecture manually: make ARCH=arm Wonder what changed, anyway this is the solution. 1
