To all having an issue with this driver: please try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git alternatively.

a patch to make it work for rpi and may be other ARM device:

 }

Note: I am seeing the interface of the usb wifi key marketed as DEEPOW dongle (from amazon) changing MAC address at every boot even though I have not set up anything like that in netctl, here.

I don't know if it's a hardware problem or driver problem. However, it's the same with rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git driver

sorry for highjacking. but I'm deciding between Edimax EW-7811UAC (rtl8812AU) and Ralink RT5370. rtl8812AU seams to be more of a pain in the ass, right?

4.6 compilation should be fixed up by https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/commit/0658130bbd0ba72aa0f5a800e39764e2b63f34f5

DKMS compilation seems to fail on 4.6 kernel (from testing). /var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/4.3.22_beta.r9.928e27f/build/make.log: http://vpaste.net/1YTXY

with awus036ac the installation doesn't show error but the adapter seems not working. I can see it correctly with lsusb though its led remains off and I can't see any router.

Hello, i don't use my TP-link model T4UH AC1200 ID 2357:0103 in armv7l $ uname -a Linux alarm 3.10.96-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Feb 12 18:10:15 MST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux my desktop (64bits) no problem... any idea?

@sekret I've removed the whole .install script. Those DKMS ALPM hooks are wonderful!

sekret commented on 2016-03-07 19:14 (UTC)

Seems like your install script shows outdated infos! ==> To build and install your modules run: dkms install rtl8812au_rtl8821au/4.3.22_beta.r9.928e27f ==> To do this automatically at startup run: systemctl enable dkms.service But the dkms package doesn't contain the service file anymore, instead pacman hooks are used. So I think this output can be deleted :-)

@viruzeno I'm going to do some cleanup during next week and I'll try to fix any compilation problems on 4.3 and 4.4 kernels. @everybody If you come across a non-beta 4.22 driver or any newer version, please let me know.

I'm Trying to build 4.3.22 by adding #branch=4.3.22 to the PKGBUILD source=('git+https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au#branch=4.3.22' however after the package installed it fails to complete dpkg ------- Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/r6.88e6783/source -> /usr/src/rtl8812au_rtl8821au-r6.88e6783 DKMS: add completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area... 'make' KVER=4.3.3-3-ARCH...(bad exit status: 2) Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.3.3-3-ARCH (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/r6.88e6783/build/make.log for more information. error: command failed to execute correctly Any advice, I need this version as I require monitor and injection support.

Got the error: 8812au: Unknown symbol wiphy_new (err 0) And gnab distro is working the same time. upd: just need to comment out //#define CONFIG_IOCTL_CFG80211 1 in include/autoconf.h
