Hi All,
First time post for LibreElec. I have needed a faster wifi connection so I bought cheap ac1200 Edimax EW-7822ULC usb dongle. I did some digging around and found the following driver which works perfect for RPi3 (RPi2 arm) on 9.0.0.0 using kernel 4.19: GitHub - EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu: RTL8822BU Wireless Driver for Linux
See attachment for package.mk I put in linux-drivers build directory
BTW:
I use ArchLinux currently at 4.20 kernel, glibc 2.28, and gcc 8.2.1 which makes an excellent build environment. The only thing that hindered me initially was the lzop and rpcsvc-proto packages needed to be installed to get through the build (in addition to standard build packages)
I had a hard time discovering how to build this ROM with the extra module as it's not in the Build wiki. For those who are stuck like me recently:
1) Use an existing package.mk in the ROM source code as a template in a category close to what you are adding
2) Change PKG_NAME, PKG_VERSION, and PKG_SHA256 from a specific commit number in git to get the proper .tar.gz downloaded
3) Folder containing package.mk must have name which is identical to PKG_NAME
4) Edit /http://LibreELEC.tv/projects/project_of_choice/options (/http://LibreELEC.tv/projects/RPi/ in my case) to include extra package:
ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS="$ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS rpi-cirrus-config RTL8822BU"
