Using rpi-source with DietPi kernel?

[1021683053]

Run Dietpi-update after reboot my waln0 can`t work.

i use :

1.Download rpi-source [1]
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notro/rpi-source/master/rpi-source -O /usr/bin/rpi-source && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-source && /usr/bin/rpi-source -q --tag-update
2. Install bc (required by rpi-source)
sudo apt-get install bc
3. Run rpi-source to get the required kernel headers
rpi-source
4. Download the driver
git clone https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au.git
5. Make the driver
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm
6. Install the driver
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

error with:

    modprobe: ERROR: could not insert '8812au': Invalid argument

Update before that can use!

Hmm, since newest DietPi also includes a kernel version bump to 4.9.52, your error might be related to that.

Just in case could you try to rpi-update to the newest edge version again? Do system backup in any case before updating kernel or DietPi (dietpi-backup).

rpi-update can be also done via dietpi-config inside advanced.

I had the same issue, but I think the issue is simpler than some kernel issue.

This happens since Dietpi included a service to monitor the wireless connections and reconnect if connection is lost (every 10 seconds). So, once you kill this service, the connection is lost.

So, whenever one tries to update, first thing Dietpi does it to stop all its services, including this one, which kills the connection and prevents the update/upgrade.

There should be some sort of whitelist, with the services that should not be stopped. I did it manually in mine, but it gets back to the original every time I upgrade...

Edit:

Sorry, maybe I'm talking about another issue...

DietPi kernel does not provide headers/source in our binaries (reduces filesize/load on server).

To compile drivers with rpi-source, you'll need to use rpi-update to revert to stock kernel as per @MichaIng suggestion.

Updating DietPi will also update kernel with latest DietPi kernel, until we have a system which allows for kernel selection, please keep this in mind.

I'll mark this as closed.
