I picked up the driver with some guys from the Internet and I managed to put it together.
Here's how you can do it:

1. Take a rtl8xxxu_core.c and replace fallthrough with [[fallthrough]]
   Instructions for vim: :%s/fallthrough/[[fallthrough]]/g
2. In the rtl8xxxu_8192e.c, delete drains from 565 to 597 (Or get it from step 3.)
3. Take the rtl8xxxu_8192e.c from the commit 6172cad
   And you will be able to do: make && make install

Tried this, don't know what you mean by step 2 and step 3, but I get the same result without rtwifi.ko being built.

I have attempted this with the same results with Arch Linux and Fedora 35, haven't attempted debian or other debian based distros.

Take the rtl8xxxu_8192e.c file from the specified commit.

Hello!
I have done this, but unfortunately I'm running into the same error (rtwifi.ko was not even created). I'd also like to clarify that I'm installing it on a i686 machine w/Void Linux 5.15.52_1 but I don't think it should be a problem - also I made sure that I've got all dependencies.

Thanks for your help

Alright, I installed the driver by the obscure method - I went into forks of this repo and found an old fork from May 2020, it compiled successfully, but now the card does not appear in... lsusb?!

Thanks for your help but I don't think I'll troubleshoot it further,
Cheers
