TL-WN881ND Linux drivers do not compile
2020-04-27 15:03:21
Model: TL-WN881ND  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: TL-WN881ND(EU)_V2_Linux

I have the drivers for the TL-WN881ND downloaded and am following the instructions in the manuel. But when I run make I get an error and the .ko file is not created.

 

I am not very familiar with gcc or makefiles, so I don't know, is there an issue with the makefile or is something else going wrong? Any help is appreciated.

 

 

 

Here is the full output when I run make:

@clove Similar problem.  I only bought this device as it was advertised as linux compatable.  It isn't drivers not in majour package libraries and the source is not kept up to date.
