Driver will not compile x 2 USB Wifi / CentOS

27 May 2017

      Hi there,

I have tried both Netgear A6210 & TP-LINK Archer T2UH using a few 
different sources from git hub. All of them fail at *make* command.

This is a common error for some sources: IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS’ undeclared 
here (not in a function)

I am clutching at straws here but is there a library that I am missing 
is needed?

I am CentOS 7 / 3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 12 15:04:24 
UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks

Piers
