I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get

driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use the

4.9.9, not that the kernel version is necessarily an indicator of
compile success. It had been a month or more since I had apply any
system updates, so I did so two days ago, which as part of the update
updated the kernel to 4.11.5, and when dkms went to compile the driver
for the new kernel the compile failed with error messages about implicit
function definitions and messages about warnings having been converted
to errors.
That's the problem with using out-of-tree drivers. Someone has to keep
them up-to-date with kernel changes.
Does anyone know if there is an updated driver that will compile
with the current level of F25 or whether it has yet to be updated for
compatibility with F25 and hence I will need to continue to use Ethernet
internet access?
https://github.com/xxNull-lsk/rtl8812AU has a recent commit that
mentions kernel 4.11. I think
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-192
is suggesting that you have to modify one of the files to add your
device id to it.
