Hello, new version with added Hercules HWNUM-300V2 devices support with the same version number to avoid others users to update.

I have an Hercules HWNUM-300V2 and it work with this driver, but to do this I must add this line : {USB_DEVICE(0x06F8, 0xE035)}, in the file : os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c I want to add this modification at the aur package but I don't know how, I can post a patch here ? --- usb_intf.c 2013-09-11 05:56:55.000000000 +0200 +++ usb_intf2.c 2015-08-09 17:32:25.362058074 +0200 @@ -99,6 +99,7 @@ {USB_DEVICE(0x07B8, 0x8189)},/* Abocom - Abocom */ \ {USB_DEVICE(0x0EB0, 0x9071)},/* NO Brand - Etop */ \ {USB_DEVICE(0x06F8, 0xE033)},/* Hercules - Edimax */ \ + {USB_DEVICE(0x06F8, 0xE035)},/* Hercules - Edimax */ \ {USB_DEVICE(0x103C, 0x1629)},/* HP - Lite-On ,8188CUS Slim Combo */ \ {USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x3308)},/* D-Link - Alpha */ \ {USB_DEVICE(0x050D, 0x1102)},/* Belkin - Edimax */ \ Sorry if this is not the right way. And for my english.

For the 2 patches below, I created a pull request at: https://github.com/dz0ny/rt8192cu

Understood! Please note that I had to do couple of small changes, as my gcc compiler complained. - One seems like a code bug, as an array is accesses beyond its last element. - The other is about the use of strnicmp, which seems deprecated Patches are at the links below for your consideration: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8cxo7oyxway61yy/AAC1SRudu7muf1Sgf7jNCNZVa?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8cxo7oyxway61yy/AAC1SRudu7muf1Sgf7jNCNZVa?dl=0

@fabioca, because are propietary drivers, the open source are the included in the vanilla kernel, and the ARCH way is to be the most close to vanilla kernel released by linus torvalds and company.

I am a newbie so apology in advance if the question is dumb: This seems like a fix to a faulty driver. Instead of having a separate package, why doesn't it just get upstreamed in the mainline kernel?

Hello, Bump to new version 8192cu-dkms v4.0.2_9000-8 with support for kernel 4.0 branch.

I suggest adding this to the package for black listing. blacklist rtl8192cu blacklist rtl8192c_common blacklist rtl_usb blacklist rtlwifi blacklist mac80211 blacklist cfg80211 blacklist rfkill because i went from a maximum 10Mbps to my top speed of 50Mbps just by adding those extra lines.

@Kuci The discussion, about including or not linux-headers as a dependencies, in a dkms package should happen on the AUR mailing list. we should follow what is written in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support#Dependencies) which is not including linux-headers as a dependencie because dkms already lists it as an optional one.
