Can't seem to set the txpower after your revert either. It's an Archer T4UH.

@zebulon: Regarding "However I am unsure I have understood the -git part. Do you mean that a package such as rtl8812au-dkms will source the code from the git repository anyway?"
What I'm saying is: I think you should decide on whether you want to ship a stable driver release with downstream patches or whether you want to ship a the most recent commit of a git repo. You see, currently this package has a '-git' suffix but is actually version 5.2.9 even though it's always building from a git branch HEAD. This is misleading and should not be done. You should not either make sure the user understands that this is a git package and a git version (and thus it's not _really_ 5.2.9 as released by upstream)
Since in this case knowing the general driver version is useful, I still suggest keeping it around, but you should salt the version with something that will allow users to know that you've updated it and that it's from git. How about 5.2.9.git1?
Furthermore, I'm soon going to merge packages like this:
rtl8812au-v5-dkms-git -> rtl8812au-dkms-git
rtl8821au-v5-dkms-git -> rtl8821au-dkms-git (zebulon, please create this package)
rtl8812au_rtl8821au-dkms-git -> rtl8821au-dkms-git
rtl8812au_8821au_linux-dkms-git -> rtl8821au-dkms-git

@Imagno: D-Link DWA-171 uses RTL8811AU. This driver 5.2.9 is for rtl8812au exclusively. I had no idea the 8811au worked with the 5.1.5 (which is for 8821au and 8812au). You need to use rtl8821au-v5-dkms-git then.

5.2.9 is not working for me (no interface).
Device: D-Link DWA-171
Kernel: 4.12.10-1-ARCH
Downgraded to 5.1.5 and it's working.

@Svenstaro: coming back to the txpower issue. I had a look at the code, and I think I made a misinterpretation there. Looking at the code CONFIG_TXPWR_LIMIT_EN seems to be the contrary of CONFIG_CALIBRATE_TX_POWER_TO_MAX used in the 5.1.5 version of the driver, and thus needs to be unset.
I have removed the offending option in the Makefile. Can you please compile the driver again, an let me know if you can increase txpower this time? What is your adapter by the way? Thanks.

OK, sounds good and I agree about having one package per chipset. We can put a note that such package would work with several chipsets but that using the proper one guarantees the latest Realtek driver. If you really want to restrict each module for one chipset it is possible to do so in the Makefile, but this is probably unnecessary.
However I am unsure I have understood the -git part. Do you mean that a package such as rtl8812au-dkms will source the code from the git repository anyway?

@zebulon I pinned my comment so you can find it now.

@Svenstaro: sorry, I cannot find your post. Where did you send the proposal?
svenstaro commented on 2017-09-06 16:27 (UTC)
@zebulon what do you think about my proposal?

I have Asus USB-AC56. Have anybody managed to turn such a device USB 3.0 on Linux?

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