Hi Phil,
I have not tried compiling anything because I don't know what magic you 
do. I can give it a go and see what happens. I am puzzled about the 
sources because I tried searching github for rtl8188au and only the 
lwfinger sources appeared so I must searching incorrectly. I agree about 
the realtek site. I tried searching there as well.
Yours puzzled,
Nick
