Realtek r8191SU driver for kernel >= 3.10

  • 772

I'm trying to build driver for my WiFi dongle which reports as rtl8191SU, however with no luck as the official drivers from RealTek seems only to go to kernel version 3.0.2, while the current version of my kernel is 3.10...

Moreover this is on arm64 architecture (see Pine 64 project).

The official drivers give multiple errors when compiling e.g.:

field 'xmit_tasklet' has incomplete type

field 'recv_tasklet' has incomplete type

...

which seems to be due to kernel version mismatch.

The driver in question seems to be in fact rtl8712, which is what is downloaded from the realtek website in the end.
Is there some new version of this driver for Ubuntu and newer kernels, or alternative?
