Hi, why do you pull this from dropbox? It should be something more official/and formal....

Please add linux-headers as deps make and run.

Please add the following patch for linux-5.1:

Hi folks, just to let you know. I have submitted a new version of a PKGBUILD for a version of this driver available at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu: 8188eu-dkms-git

With a bit of extra work (patching kernel), It even functions as hostapd.

Have issue on 4.18.11-1-ARCH (aarch64) (full log is here: http://pasted.co/a893e202 )

I'm getting the following build errors when upgrading package linux 4.18.8. Any ideas?

Edit: seems this may be the same problem as @zhengyi5403 is having, as from what I can tell this data field was removed in Linux 4.15.0.
