Hope it is resolved!!

[masterzorag]

Yes, known issues; I can confirm linux-4.12.y needs some patching.
Actually driver is working with 4.11.12 [EOL]

[scdas141]

Maybe someone can get this working on kernel 4.12.x ??

[masterzorag]

tracking first build error

ioctl_cfg80211.c:816:6: error: passing argument 2 of ‘cfg80211_roamed’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
    , notify_channel
note: expected ‘struct cfg80211_roam_info *’ but argument is of type ‘struct ieee80211_channel *’
 void cfg80211_roamed(struct net_device *dev, struct cfg80211_roam_info *info,
...
then obviously:
error: too many arguments to function ‘cfg80211_roamed’

lands me here

[scdas141]

@masterzorag
Thanks buddy.. I'm sure a solution will crop up..

I think New Kernels, especially like, 4.12 with major changes -- 15,000 source code changes & More Than One Million New Lines might take a while to complete debugging.. :-))

[masterzorag]

just managed to build fine on linux-4.12.2, I will push patches on my branch

[scdas141]

wow.. good news after all.. Successfully installed on 4.12.6 from masterzorag's branch

Mange should be a li'l more pro-active in maintaining his branch..

[CGarces]

@scdas141 we try to do our best, but we have a private life outside Github. Fell free to be pro-active and send a PR.
