Updated driver for rtl88x2bu wifi adaptors based on cilynx/rtl88x2bu. The project started with official versions downloaded from D-Link's download page for the DWA-182 Rev D. Unfortunately, D-Link's version stopped do work on Linux v5.3.

The purpose of this repository is to update the driver such that it can be compiled with recent versions of the Linux kernel on x86-64. The repository of cylinx does something very similar.

The main difference between this and cilynx' repositories are that this repository compiles with -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Werror (and can compile with -O3 …), leading to few additional bugfixes and possibly some performance improvements. On the other hand, cylinx' repository seems to support some RasperryPi use cases and some more devices.

In order to make direct use of the driver it should suffice to build the driver with make and to load it with insmod 88x2bu.ko. This will allow you to use the driver directly without changing your system persistently.

If you want to have the driver available at startup, it will you convenient to register it in DKMS. This can be done completely automatically with the script deploy.sh.
