How do I fix the compile errors?

Answer 1

go to mange:
download and install the only working drivers. It worked with default drivers for me but with extremely low "power" and dropping/poor connection. Now it works great, just as it should...
I am just a simple/new linux user so I can't offer any further support. But the mentioned site has detailed instructions. I was referred there by multiple other forums.
