What didn't work?
Driver is failing to install.
I had previously cloned repo on my system, with which I was successfully able to install the driver on the Fedora 26 and 27, I used the same version in Fedora 28. But it failed with error metioned in Error Code section.
What did you try?
I tried installing with previously cloned repo, didn't install.
Firstly, I ran make, failed with similar error as in ERROR CODE section. Then I tried installing after dkms, and again the same errors.
I cloned the repo again, made install, uninstall, executable, ran make, ./install, and the errors were same as mentioned in the error code.
I have to admit I was pretty careless after it failed the first time. It's actually a fresh install and I am positive I haven't messed around anywhere.
Error code:
make -C /lib/modules/4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64/build M=/home/ajit/MT7630E/rt2x00 modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Error 2
These two directories look really odd inside lib/mobules/uname -r/
