DWA-192 Driver no Longer Compiles After Maintenance Update in F25 - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Friday, 23 June 2017


Hi,

     I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get a 
driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use the 
adapter. This driver compiled and worked quite happily with kernel 
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.

     I tried doing a search on the net for a DWA-192 driver and got a 
link to github to a driver version that seemed to be the same version as 
the driver I already had, but I downloaded it anyway and did a manual 
compile of that but it failed to compile with the same errors.

     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?

regards,

Steve
