kernel 5.13 same problem

[averissimo]

There are pull requests that fix this issue, I personally use #64, but #82 from @alxgnon might be better for 5.15 compatibility

#89 from @brandontict works for me. Ubunut 20.04 LTS / kenel 5.13.0-25-generic 3q

There are pull requests that fix this issue, I personally use #64, but #82 from @alxgnon might be better for 5.15 compatibility Thanks for the feedback.

I am not too familiar with git, So having issues applying that pull request.

I've went to the request #82 , clicked on code and copied gh pr checkout 82 . into terminal, within the folder I had cloned for his repo

Also tried

git pull origin d2ed7cff6d760dab4b85c819f3ff0b3aca9d2f35

with no luck.

I make sure that I am within the folder that I cloned from this repo when attempting to use these pull requests.

[alxgnon]

@brandontict try this instead:

git remote add alxgnon https://github.com/alxgnon/rtl8814au.git
git fetch alxgnon
git checkout --track alxgnon/fix_5.15

[boeboe]

@alxgnon problem still persists.

[alxgnon]

My patch is for kernel 5.15 and up.

[aranthorne]

I ran into the compile error also and modified the line 358 of the rtl8814au/os_dep/linux/recv_linux.c to if (rtw_napi_gro_receive(&padapter->napi, pskb))

It compiles successfully for the 5.13.0-27-generic kernel after that change is made. Then completed as normally and the A7000 is performing wonderfully well.

[brandontict]

I too am running into the same compile issue, after adding @aixgnon commit, issue was fixed.

Until I updated my machine , Since I already had the module compiled, I ran " make install " . Still modprobe doesn't see 8814au.ko .

I go to re compile, with alxgnon/fix_5.15 , and compile now errors out with a new issue.

/pentest/8814au/8814au/core/rtw_br_ext.c:20:18: fatal error: net/ipx.h: No such file or directory 20 | #include <net/ipx.h> | ^~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-kali3-common/scripts/Makefile.build:282: /pentest/8814au/8814au/core/rtw_br_ext.o] Error 1

There are some other PRs that also fix this, but I happened on this issue / fix first. I had this issue on a fresh install of (K)Ubuntu/22.04, alxgnon's patch plus aranthorne's comment worked for me.

These steps, after fresh install, worked for me:

# clone and cd into this repo, then checkout alxgnon's PR
git fetch origin pull/82/head:alxgnon/fix_5.15
git checkout alxgnon/fix_5.15

# Remove undeclared GRO_DROP reference
sed -i'' 's/ \!= GRO_DROP//g' os_dep/linux/recv_linux.c

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
# Restarted to load kernel changes
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) make gcc -y
make clean
make
sudo make install

the 5.17 patch does not work on 5.15
