Well thank @igorpec, I cross compile and now it seem to work quite well, I can connect to the wifi ! So much work for this...

But I'm running hostapd to build a wifi access point, I have a news issue now, when hostapd is running and I try to connect to the AP with my smartphone, Linux freeze, nothing in the log, no trace...

Don't know if it's comming from the new module compiled, hostapd or the bridge between eth0 and wlan6...

Any suggestion ?

I finally did not manage to configure an access point with this dongle. I was experience kernel freezing!!!

So I bought a new one with the R5370 firmware any of them will work, Olimex is selling one  https://www.olimex.com/Products/USB-Modules/MOD-WIFI-R5370/

Then I build up my AP in less than an hour...
