driver 88XX.au fails to compile on kernel 5.18.0 ppa Ubuntu

[Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez]

Hi all.

This driver (for certain USB wireless devices) gets a clean build with
Ubuntu ppa kernels till 5.17.x. But with the new version 5.18.0 don´t
finish the compilation and end with errors.

At the begining of the make command execution there are a warning that
say that the kernel was compilated using gcc version 11.3.0 and the
system (Ubuntu 22.04) is using gcc 11.2.0. Can be this the cause of
this error in the building?.

Any help is very welcome.

Thanks you very much, in advance.

Regards.
Jose.

Yes, that is one problem, odds are there are others as the kernel does
not know how external drivers interact with it, so apis do change and go
away over time.

Please contact the authors of the external driver for help, they are the
only ones that can do that.

good luck!
