YMMV

I'm sorry bu what i supposed to do with this file

It is a git patch. You can just apply it. Or I can pull your repo, make the changes and do a pull request.
git apply kern5.0.patch.txt
git diff # review changes
git commit -m "Applied patch from James Drabb[email protected] to compile against 5.0.x kernels"

ok thanks it works on ubuntu
on kubuntu i have :

make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.0.0-15-generic/build M=/home/jean-raphael/Bureau/backup/Documents/network/driver for ubuntu/rtl88x2bu-driver-master modules
make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.0-15-generic »
arch/x86/Makefile:146: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support
make[1]: *** Aucune règle pour fabriquer la cible « for ». Arrêt.
make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.0-15-generic »
make: *** [Makefile:1986: modules] Error 2

I've never used Knoppix. It looks like x32 abi is configured but the toolchain doesn't support it.
What is the output of these commands:
zgrep CONFIG_X86_64 /proc/config.gz
zgrep CONFIG_X86_X32 /proc/config.gz
echo $CFLAGS; echo $CC

Also the output of:
uname -a

Get rid of the spaces in the path:
/home/jean-raphael/Bureau/backup/Documents/network/driver for ubuntu/
Change to:
/home/jean-raphael/Bureau/backup/Documents/network/driver_for_ubuntu/
Spaces are bad!

thanks this works
but not on 5.0.0.16
uname -a
Linux saphira 5.0.0-16-generic #17-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 15 10:52:21 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

installation as root :
« /usr/src/linux-headers-5.0.0-16-generic »
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module 88x2bu.ko: Operation not permitted

What do you get from:
sudo modprobe --verbose 88x2bu

Are you booted in to the new kernel?

ok it's my fault i have recently upgrade my bios and the secure boot was active

[moolight-seashell]
