rtl8812au

Realtek 8812AU driver version 5.6.4.2 NOW OBSOLETE

Only supports 8812AU chipset.

Works fine with 5.8.rc3 kernel. Source now builds with no warnings or errors.

Added (cosmeticly edited) original Realtek_Changelog.txt, this README.md and dkms.conf.

Added device USB IDs, sorted by ID number. Added regdb files.

Removed LED control, which was added for driver version 5.2.20

To build and install module manually:

$ make
$ sudo make install

To use dkms install:

  (as root, or sudo) copy source folder contents to /usr/src/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2

$ sudo dkms add -m rtl8812au -v 5.6.4.2
$ sudo dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 5.6.4.2
$ sudo dkms install -m rtl8812au -v 5.6.4.2

To use dkms uninstall and remove:

$ sudo dkms remove -m rtl8812au -v 5.6.4.2 --all

As others have noted, people using NetworkManager need to add this stanza to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

  [device]
  wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

If needed, copy the regulatory database files in regdb/ to /lib/firmware/

$ sudo cp ./regdb/* /lib/firmware/
