‘_timer’ {aka ‘struct timer_list’} has no member named ‘data’

Question

I am using Kali Kinux 4.19.0-kali5-amd64 and need drivers for TL-WN822N V5 offered here.

There are errors attempting to compile:

Answer 1

The official beta version of the driver only supports up to the 4.9.60 Linux kernel. You are on a newer version.

This github repo has a tested version that supports TL-WN822N V5.

• Download the repo, install the Linux kernel sources and headers.
• Build the module (make) and copy to /lib/modules/{your-kernel}/kernel/drivers. You can use uname -r to find {your-kernel}.
• Run depmod -a then modprobe 8192eu and insmod 8192eu.ko.

Looks like there is also another alternative to the driver above. This seems also work.
