Stephan,
Ah, that was the real error. Thanks for testing.
John: Please take my patch of this evening entitles "[PATCH] rtlwifi: rtl8188ee:
Fix linker warnings" and drop the one by Chen, Chien-Chia entitled "[PATCH]
rtlwifi: rtl8188ee: Fix wrong header path". If we put the ../ into the header
paths, I'll just have to take them out later. We might as well leave them out.
