Please use 5.6.4.2 version at https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2
Only supports 8812AU chipset.
Works fine with 5.3-rc7 kernel. Source now builds with no warnings or errors.
Greatly improved stability due to huge rewrite of phydm - "4 second glitch" seems to have been fixed, or at least vastly reduced, in driver version 5.2.20.2.
Added (cosmeticly edited) original Realtek_Changelog.txt, this README.md and dkms.conf.
Added device USB IDs, sorted by ID number. Added LED control by Makefile, module parameter and dynamic /proc writing. Added VHT extras. Added regdb files.
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-5.2.20
$ sudo dkms add -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20
$ sudo dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20
$ sudo dkms install -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20
To use dkms uninstall and remove:
$ sudo dkms remove -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20 --all
Thanks to @dkadioglu and others for a start on this.
