It seems there are some sintax errors, maybe a dot or dot-comma symbol is missing in the file, error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘attribute’ before ‘rtl8187_usb_probe’ . As in any programming file, the problem could be near the beginning of the file.

You do not need any drivers for your wireless dongle. They are already included in Linux kernel.

You tried to install a very old driver that was needed when kernel did not support this device out of the box.

That old driver will not build for new kernels anyway.

I see, that makes sense. – Zach Landry Jul 20 '15 at 15:47
