Christian, All,

On 2015-07-24 15:32 -0700, Christian Stewart spake thusly:
> This patch adds the rtl8821au wifi driver. The driver is sourced from
> ulli-kroll's work on GitHub, which includes various fixes and better LED
> handling. Currently USB3 support is broken in this driver - it will
> only connect to the EHCI controller in a USB3 port.

I see that Ulli has already accepted to change that in his tree. Great
that you guys can work together on this! :-)

No hash when using a git sha1, see:
    http://buildroot.net/downloads/manual/manual.html#adding-packages-hash

    Note. If libfoo is from GitHub (see Section 17.17.2, "How to add a
    package from GitHub" for details), we can only accept a .hash file
    if the package is a released (e.g. uploaded by the maintainer)
    tarball. Otherwise, the automatically generated tarball may change
    over time, and thus its hashes may be different each time it is
    downloaded, causing a .hash mismatch for that tarball.

You must create the target directory first, otherwise you'd get an error
like:

    install: target '....lib/firmware/rtlwifi/' is not a directory: No
    such file or directory
