I think a reply to this from TBS would still be worthwhile - I'm having the same issue and having to revert to Open Source drivers

Thx

Attached is a patch to allow the code to compile with kernel versions before 3.18.

Tested with -
Card: TBS6981
Kernel Version: 3.13
TBS code: tbs-linux-drivers_v170330.zip

Compiles and apparently works (meaning it works for me, but I've no idea if the affected code is normally executed or not on my system).

This problem is caused by two bugs relating to a failure to check for kernel versions, both introduced in v161031. One is caused by a kernel version check that was in the code, but was removed, and another by a change that made that code compatible with 3.16 or later only, without a kernel version check.

Instructions
Unzip the attachment, note the folder where you unzipped the patch (tbs_pre_3.18.patch). That folder is called /path/to below. Replace with the correct path to your copy of tbs_pre_3.18.patch.

When following the Closed Driver install steps, after this:

Code: Select All Code: cd linux-tbs-drivers

... do this:

Code: Select All Code: patch -p1 < /path/to/tbs_pre_3.18.patch

... and then continue as normal.

Hi Steven,

Can we get patch into the code at some point?

It looks like the open source drivers also need this patch.

I ran into the same issue. Kernel 3.0.0. The patch on this thread fixed it.
