I changed every makefile in the staging directory to use the proper ccflags-y option instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS and also changing the first assignment to ":=" from "+=". I couldn't change changing the first assignment to ":=" from "+=" for the following four lines in rtl8192u Makefile r it wouldn't compile. 1.ccflags-y += -DTHOMAS_BEACON -DTHOMAS_TASKLET -DTHOMAS_SKB -DTHOMAS_TURBO 2.ccflags-y += -DUSE_ONE_PIPE 3.ccflags-y += -DENABLE_DOT11D 4.ccflags-y += -Idrivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211 It builds :) .
