kernel 5.18.1 编译失败 about rtl8852be HOT 11 CLOSED

I've experienced the same problem yesterday on Arch Linux. With the LTS kernel (5.15), it does work perfectly fine though.

Maybe I can look into these API changes when I find some time for it, but that won't be in the next 10 days.

Every time the kernel is updated, there is an API interface change, and then all drivers have to be changed. This is arch Linux?

Yes, this is archlinux. After upgrading the kernel to 5.18.1 yesterday, the compilation failed. Now it has been downgraded to 5.17.9. As I am not familiar with this knowledge, this question is for your reference.

This seems to be due to a change in the API interface.
Try changing "pci_" to "dma_" might fix the problem?

Theoretically, by changing this API, the code can adapt to the latest kernel (I think), but more tests are needed

I have just push a new version on "dev" branch, hope you test for it when available, thanks.

I have just build it successfully using kernel5.18.0-1-MANJARO, with "a fair amount of compiler warnings", expect more hardware testing and feedback.

Thank you so much! Your work is very much appreciated.

I can now successfully build against 5.18.1-arch1-1 and so far the WiFi is working perfectly with some occasional errors showing up in dmesg.

Did you mean _rtw_memcpy(pnetdev->dev_addr, mac, ETH_ALEN);
That‘s an existing bug, I’ll check it out, any ideas are welcomed.

Actually, The latest update on code(with a mount of #ifdef) looks ugly. I truly believe the newer kernel (>5.18) delete the ‘’pci-dma-compat.h’’ , but I’m not sure since other network repo didn’t bring out related issue.

Alright, the API change is here.
