you can compile it, build it, and load it without issues, yes. even on any of these repos you see for this, after patching (with these patches and copy Module.symvers: Manually or Automatically). the issue is when it is loaded. we cannot control it from lede's normal systems. we have to rely on udhcpc and wpa_supplicant to actually get a card connected in client mode without crashing the driver. ap mode can broadcast (from hostapd) but i havent tested any further 
but also:
that being said some other driver modules i listed here so this person could pick another card just to save time, rather than wasting it trying to use this driver
