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:

Unfortunately, they don't compile any more now because of missing kernel files.

 

Any help?

Thanks

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.

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.

Ok found the solution, have to supply now the architecture manually:

 

make ARCH=arm

 

Wonder what changed, anyway this is the solution.
