@amazingfate Saw your patch upstream but still I wasn't been able to compile driver_rtl8189ES or driver_rtl8189FS on 6.13.RC

[amazingfate]

I only tested rtl8189es with rockchip64-6.13: https://paste.next.armbian.com/etozibivaf
Do you have error log on other branches?

The missing ieee80211_ptr depends on CONFIG_CFG80211, rockchip64 has it enabled so it's fine.
This is introduced since v5.19: torvalds/linux@c304edd

[igorpecovnik]

So we need to enable CONFIG_CFG80211 on those that breaks?

[amazingfate]

I get the same error after disabling CONFIG_CFG80211 in rockchip64-6.13. After a quick look at the dkms source Makefile, that is really a mess and I think enabling CONFIG_CFG80211 at our side is an easier way.
Maybe we can enable this config by default when extra wifi is enabled just like we enable BTF @rpardini ?

What is easier and quicker? I think this can be enabled by default. Probably won't hurt?

Yes this can be done directly in a hook, so we don't need to go updating each .config individually.

I seem to have similar error related to CONFIG_CFG80211 on meson64's try to bump to 6.13 (#7727 (comment))

[rpardini]

It seems not only EXTRAWIFI drivers are affected, in-kernel drivers are also disabled because of missing CONFIG_CFG80211. Since we run oldconfig early in the process, it ends up disabling a lot of drivers. I'm looking into running the kernel config hooks before running oldconfig so we can correct for this in time.

@amazingfate @igorpecovnik try this one? #7728 -- it fixes the build for meson64 driver_rtl88x2cs on 6.13
