**NOTE:** This branch is based on Realtek's driver versioned 4.4.1. `master` is based on 4.3.1.1 originally.
The official drivers for D-Link DWA-131 Rev E, with patches to keep it working on newer kernels.
Also works on Rosewill RNX-N180UBE v2 N300 Wireless Adapter.
Also works on Rosewill RNX-N180UBE v2 N300 Wireless Adapter and TP-Link TL-WN821N V6.
**NOTE:** This is just a "mirror". I have no knowledge about this code or how it works. Expect no support from me or any contributors here.

4. Add the driver to DKMS. This will copy the source to a system directory so
that it can used to rebuild the module on kernel upgrades.
