Has anybody suceeded in setting up backports
compat-wireless,
compat-drivers ?
http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/
The concept is interesting to reuse old devices with the new boards. So far I haven't succeded:
root@OrangePI:/usr/src# cd backports-4.2.6-1
root@OrangePI:/usr/src/backports-4.2.6-1# make defconfig-wifi
cc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o conf.o conf.c
conf.c:6:20: fatal error: locale.h: No such file or directory
#include <locale.h>
^
compilation terminated.

I was trying alternatively to build the old driver for RTL-8187
