rtl8812au

Realtek 8812AU/8821AU USB WiFi driver.

for AC1200 (801.11ac) Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter

Updates for newer kernels & compilers

A few modifications and updates were made to support newer kernels and compilers. Personally I run a latest fedora box and will do my best to support the latest kernel and gcc compiler.

I forked this code from https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

The information below is provided as-is and may be outdated.

Known Supported Devices:

* COMFAST 1200Mbps USB Wireless Adapter(Model: CF-912AC)
* TP-LINK AC1200 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter(Model: Archer-T4U)
* TP-LINK AC600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter(Model: Archer-T2U Nano)

Compiling with DKMS

# sudo make -f Makefile.dkms install

Compiling for NVidia Jeston Nano

# CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_JET_NANO = y

Compiling for Raspberry Pi (3)

Install kernel headers and other dependencies.

# sudo apt-get install linux-image-rpi-rpfv linux-headers-rpi-rpfv raspberrypi-kernel-headers dkms build-essential bc

Install kernel headers: https://github.com/notro/rpi-source/wiki

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notro/rpi-source/master/rpi-source -O /usr/local/bin/rpi-source && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rpi-source && /usr/local/bin/rpi-source -q --tag-update
rpi-source

Edit Makefile and turn on CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI, turn off CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y

# cd /usr/src/rtl8812au
# sudo make clean
# sudo make -j4
# sudo make install
# sudo modprobe -a rtl8812au

Compiling for Ubuntu (16.04) and Debian (9)

Install kernel headers

# sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Compile and install from source

# cd /path/to/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
# make
# sudo make install

Load module

# sudo modprobe -a rtl8812au

Cross-compiling.

You can now specify variables on the command line w/out editing makefile. For instance, this builds against recent OpenWRT neo2 platform. Your Cross-compile binaries should be in your PATH.

KSRC=/home/greearb/git/openwrt-neo2-dev/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/linux-sunxi_cortexa53/linux-4.14.78 \
EXT_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DCONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN \
ARCH=arm64 \
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-openwrt-linux- \
MODDESTDIR=/tmp \
make V=1

Setup DKMS

# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install dkms
# cd /path/to/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
# sudo cp -R . /usr/src/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-1.0
# sudo dkms add -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
# sudo dkms build -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
# sudo dkms install -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
