How do I install a Wsky Wireless Adapter in Ubuntu 17.10

You could try my patched dkms version, using a dkms.conf I made with Temujin's patch from above

cd Desktop
sudo apt install dkms
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8822bu.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8822bu
sudo dkms install 8822bu/1.1

I can understand why you would have to compile again after a kernel update but not sure why you would have to apply the patch again unless you deleted the directory and did the git clone command again

I tried this on a Manjaro linux laptop and all I get is a message in dmesg which says "[ 593.868203] 8822bu: Unknown symbol __vfs_read (err 0)"

The 8812AU driver also apparently had this issue and it's discussed here: https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812a...5.2.9/issues/2

It was fixed with this patch: https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812a...9ed141cb81d579

Does this provide enough info to get it working on the 8812BU driver?

Thank you! That one worked perfectly. Now I just need to figure out how to undo the earlier dkms lines I ran so I can redo with new. I did a manual install for now.


*update* thought I had it but didn't...kept giving me build errors on the add. Finally just gave up and can do manual install.


Although the make and the make install work just fine attempting to do the dkms install results in:

[famewolf@PC work2]$ sudo dkms install 8822bu/1.1

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Consult the make.log in the build directory

The make.log is attached but looks the same as the manual "make" with no additional error's...it appears to complete but the secondary part doesn't occur.
