I am using a DWA-192 usb WiFi adapter in F25 hence I need to get
a driver from github to be compiled on my system so that I can use

kernel 4.9.9, not that the kernel version is necessarily an indicator
of compile success. It had been a month or more since I had apply any
system updates, so I did so two days ago, which as part of the update
updated the kernel to 4.11.5, and when dkms went to compile the
driver for the new kernel the compile failed with error messages
about implicit function definitions and messages about warnings
having been converted to errors.
That's the problem with using out-of-tree drivers. Someone has to
keep them up-to-date with kernel changes.
Does anyone know if there is an updated driver that will compile
with the current level of F25 or whether it has yet to be updated for
compatibility with F25 and hence I will need to continue to use
Ethernet internet access?
https://github.com/xxNull-lsk/rtl8812AU has a recent commit that
mentions kernel 4.11. I think
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-192 is suggesting that you have
to modify one of the files to add your device id to it.
I downloaded the rtl8812AU driver even though its not necessarily the
right chipset (I believed the chipset in the DWA-192 was the rtl8814AU
chipset) but when I compiled it, it failed with the same errors.
It seems to me that the reason the source code is failing to compile
after the system update is that the compiler has been changed, as this
is the only reason I can see that source code that compiled fine before
the update won't compile after the update, unless the functions that the
compiler is rejecting as being implicitly defined, are functions that
were defined in the 4.9.9 kernel but have been removed sometime between
there and the 4.11.5 kernel.
