I tried some of the other versions of the driver but the output is still the same.
I am compiling this due to some packet injection issues.

Re: Error in Building Compat-Wireless

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dow … ect_change

This project compat-wireless has been renamed compat-drivers and new documentation information will be based on the following page as of the v3.7 releases.
I would try AUR first.

Re: Error in Building Compat-Wireless

I've tried several AUR packages aiming to fix the packet injection issue
I also have attempted building compat-drivers 3.9 but it bricked my system

Re: Error in Building Compat-Wireless

What is the issue with arch kernel driver?
Is it a weak connection?

Re: Error in Building Compat-Wireless

Actually it has nothing to do with the normal functions
I would like to inject packet but when i tried doing so the card becomes locked to channel -1

this is one of the references i have: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp … s-patched/

Re: Error in Building Compat-Wireless

hey guys. i have a similar problem and have been searching for days for the answer. hardware is TL-WN722N. i'm getting the forced -1 channel on my usb interface and now on my onboard interface after i plugged it into my computer. here is the make log from compat-drivers-patched.

EDIT: the channel -1 problem is solved on both pci and usb wlan interfaces.
download https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel … 4-2.tar.gz
extract
./scripts/driver-select ath9k
reboot
sudo make install
reboot
