Carlos Garcés Posted November 27, 2017 Author Posted November 27, 2017 That's strange, jwrdegoede has newer versions than that one. @Igor I see that you have starred CGarces/rtl8189FS at GitHub. Is just fork from khadas/android_hardware_wifi_realtek_drivers_8189ftv but patched to works on x86 and newer kernels. I'm looking for a "upstream" repository to send my changes, I'm not planing to made other fork of the very fragmented RTL drivers ecosystem. My first option is jwrdegoede repository, please check this repository instead of CGarces/rtl8189FS https://github.com/CGarces/rtl8189ES_linux/commits/update_version Is the jwrdegoede repository + two new versions from the code of khadas (but keeping the jwrdegoede modifications). You can see the current status of the builds there https://travis-ci.org/CGarces/rtl8189ES_linux/builds/307639831?utm_source=github_status&utm_medium=notification Don't worry about the compilation errors, all have a patch ready to be applied. I'm planing to send a PR with the new versions to jwrdegoede + and additional PR with the fixes for specific kernels. Any feedback are welcome.

Carlos Garcés Posted November 28, 2017 Author Posted November 28, 2017 Hi have send all my changes to the jwrdegoede repository. I haven't merge the last PR just in case someone add some feedback https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux/pull/10 Compilation logs https://travis-ci.org/CGarces/rtl8189ES_linux/builds/308135114 I'll merge the PR tonight if I not receive negative comments. Feel free to use that new version on Armbian kernel. Unfortunately I can't provide a change log. 1
