[documentation request] Documentation on how to build this driver.

[dreirund]

Can you provide a README.md or so describing how to actually build and configure (in the Makefile, I see many options, but undocumented) this driver?

I am trying to get this working for OpenWrt.

This is how I build on Manjaro ARM, need kernel-header to be installed:

git clone https://github.com/jwrdegoede/rtl8189ES_linux.git
cd ~/rtl8189ES_linux/
make -j4 ARCH=arm64 KSRC=/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
sudo cp 8189es.ko /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe 8189es

BTW, from $ iw list, it seems only support these encryptions:

 Supported Ciphers:
                * WEP40 (00-0f-ac:1)
                * WEP104 (00-0f-ac:5)
                * TKIP (00-0f-ac:2)
                * CCMP-128 (00-0f-ac:4)
                * CMAC (00-0f-ac:6)

So I really don't think it has any practical usage now.

Hello, did you manage to make this work for OpenWrt and do you have any instructions on how or hints?

I habe not continued with it so far.
