It's not exactly a issue, but a question. Does it works with others dongles based on rtl8192eu like the DLink DWA 131 rev E?

I have bought and installed tp link wifi adapter with this chipset rtl8192eu but when i installed the driver it is not working as it should have worked.

Hi guys,
I tried to compile the driver on
Linux kali 5.7.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.7.6-1kali2 (2020-07-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux

First issue: The gcc throws errors that I was able to fix with two switches in the Makefile.
gcc version 9.3.0 (Debian 9.3.0-15)

EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-date-time        
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-uninitialized

The main issue are changes in the header files of the kernel that I'm not able to fix.
The changed data types:

/home/kali/rtl8192EU_WiFi_linux/os_dep/linux/rtw_proc.c:72:71: error: passing argument 4 of ‘proc_create_data’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]

Any idea / advice what happened here?
Any chance to get the driver comiled on newer kernel versions?

Thanks
Marcus
