So, I know there have been some issues with getting these Broadcom chips to work with Linux, but I do have an Edimax N150 802.11n adapter that works well in Qubes and uses older broadcom drivers. There is source code for drivers that do compile and work well on Fedora28 using kernel > 4.15. So, I'm attempting to compile this for Qubes, but am running into a few problems. First, I'm getting the following error when attempting to compile for kernel < 4.15:

make[2]: No rule to make target '/home/user/Downloads/EW-7822ULC_Linux_Driver_1.0.1.6/core/rtw_cmd.o' , needed by '/home/user/Downloads/EW-7822ULC_Linux_Driver_1.0.1.6/88x2bu.o' . Stop.
make[1]: [Makefile:1522: _module_/home/Downloads/EW-7822ULC_Linux_Driver_1.0.1.6] Error 2

make tells me "Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64/build'" prior to the error above and then that it's leaving the same directory due to Error 2.

When I verified that kernel-devel is installed for my kernel (4.14.57-1), I'm getting the following:

Package kernel-devel-4.17.11-200.fc28.x86-64 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-devel-4.17.12-200.fc28.x86-64 is already installed, skipping.
Package kernel-devel-4.17.14-202.fc28.x86-64 is already installed, skipping.

Kernel-devel 4.17, but I'm running 4.14, even though I'm running Fedora28?!?!?!?!

uname -a outputs the following:
Linux DCI001484QUBE 4.14.57-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 16:28:54 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm using the following to attempt the install:

git clone https://github.com/bijju/Asus_USB-AC53_rtl8822bu.git
cd AsusUSB-AC53rtl8822bu
make

Error occurs on make...and I have tried as sudo and root.
