I was trying to use this module for my Logilink WL0238 USB adapter (see aircrack-ng/rtl8812au#721).

According to the README, and ignoring the firmware for a moment, I'm supposed to do:

make
insmod rtw.ko
insmod rtwusb.ko

The result of that process is:

# LC_ALL=C make
make -C /lib/modules/5.4.51-v7l+/build M=/root/rtw88-usb-development-chipset-rtl8822cu

As you can see, no rtw.ko or rtwusb.ko are ever built. And sure enough:

# insmod rtw88.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not load module rtw88.ko: No such file or directory
# insmod rtw88usb.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not load module rtw88usb.ko: No such file or directory

There are other modules (e.g. rtw88_usb.ko, rtw88_8822cu.ko, rtw88_core.ko, etc.). But trying to load them leads to the dreaded "unknown symbols in module" error:

For README.md
This is the old one form @neojou
I will do rewrite ...
most things are changed due a logical change in upstream
they split the hardware specific driver to

  • hardware specific core driver without binding, i.e rtw8822c.c
  • and specific bindings for PCI and possible USB.
modprobe mac80211
insmod rtw88_core.ko 
insmod rtw88_usb.ko 
insmod rtw88_8822b.ko
insmod rtw88_8822bu.ko
insmod rtw88_8822c.ko
insmod rtw88_8822cu.ko

The mac80211 module is needed for nl80211/cfg80211 the newer better API
i.e. with
modinfo rtw88-core
will tell you the dependencies.

DONT MIX rtw88* in upstream linux with the driver(s) here
This will not work.
I should also add this to the README.md

Also I might should automate this via make ...
because this code is bleeding edge

As a side note.
if possible don't run the compiler as root

I had problems with kernel 5.13.19, I had to downgraded to my previous installation 5.13.12 which works fine.
