AWUS036AC Ubuntu linux driver.
This driver comes from Alfa Network: AWUS036AC driver
Some fixes was needed to get driver working on Ubuntu:
- file_path is now an exported symbol, there will be an error for redefinition: redeclared as different kind of symbol.
- Avoid using strnicmp, since that's not in the c standard.
Quick hack was to put a #define strnicmp strncasecmp in
rtw_android.cfile. - Recent GCCs error if the build is non-reproducible because of using the date or time macros. In the driver directory, add the following to the Makefile:
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-error=date-time - On upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, with its 4.4 kernel, there was an additional change. In the driver directory, in rtw_debug.h, there are a couple errors because seq_printf is void, not int. So, there are two places where you’ll need to get rid of the if surrounding use of _seqdump, which is on lines 232 and 242.
The driver should compile out-of-the-box on Ubuntu.
