rtl8192eu driver on GoFLEX Net (4.17.2) (2 replies)

Hello Bodhi!

Sorry, I have to bother you again, with such a problem.
I made a new thread, because I found that I have another device.
My WiFi device is an 'Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.'
I have been trying to build a module for this device on my GoFlex Net, with Debian and Kernel 4.17.2 for about 30 hours, yet. But still it doesn't work.
I encountered multiple problems, with the weirdest of them being, that I have to add massess of symlinks for actually getting the compilation started.
For example, symlinks like: 'ln -s /usr/include/arm-linux-gnueabi/bits/* /usr/src/linux-headers-4.17.2-kirkwood-tld-1/include/bits/'
Same for asm, gnueabi, sys and so on. Why is this? Is there something wrong with the header files, or did I install them wrong?

Then, when I finally had gotten the git driver-packets (I tried about 5 different sources) to actually start compiling, the build stopped. Always with errors about missing declarations, non defined structs and so on. I guess the reason is that I simply 'replaced' all those missing header files by symlinks towards another file with same name, that I had found to be the best guess for a replacement. What could I do about this?
Thank you and have a nice day :)
