I reread the blog at http://gencarelle.com/blog/2013/07/19/problems-with-rtl8188cus/ and tried the edit of the timex.h header he describes there and now I can at least get the compile to work. I think his fix is basically a noop because he seems to be including timex.h within timex.h!
Now dmesg shows this which might make sense (or might not) as the RFM12b is not yet connected. Haven't dug into this at all yet, but at least it seems to be progress. I think I just need to run this script (https://github.com/gkaindl/beaglebone-ubuntu-scripts/blob/master/bb-enable-spi-devicetree.sh) but it is getting late :-) [ 230.466576] rfm12b : no spi_master found for busnum 1.
