fix bug in calling memcpy
8bc6f64 
Thanks to CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, the compiler refused to compile this buggy code.
See https://outflux.net/blog/archives/2017/09/05/security-things-in-linux-v4-13/
for details why this issue hasn't been noticed before kernel 4.13.

Fixes jurobystricky#81.

Patch the driver to work with Linux 4.15
e91360d 
Old timer API has been removed and replaced with new one that does not
allow passing arbitrary data within the timer callback. These changes
modify the driver so that it can be compiled again. It seems to work.

Hi, I was able to successfully install the driver. But after using it for few minutes, it just drops. Sometimes, replugging the WiFi adapter, and restarting the Network Manager works. Has anybody faced this issue? Any pointers/solution?
