@Svenstaro: I have now enabled the Issues. A note of warning though: I am not a specialist in wireless or kernel drivers though. So I can try to repack things and apply simple patches, but I probably cannot help with very technical aspects. Hopefully Realtek will improve with Linux drivers but I am not holding my breath.

@nezorflame You're running a different kernel than you have installed. Reboot and retry.

You should probably also enable issues and everything on your Github repo because apparently, you're about to become upstream on this.

Also about txpower: I have another card (an Intel) which happily transmits at 22 dbm right now. The Archer T4UH is capable of 30 dbm according to iw phy info.

From my perspective:
It would be useful to end up with 3 packages in the end as that's the current situation. One for 8812, 8814, 8821 each because even if some of those theoretically overlap, they currently only do so by chance and they are semantically different at least.
I think the packages should therefore be:
rtl8812au-dkms, rtl8814au-dkms, rtl8821au-dkms and maybe respective -git versions if you think so but it appears to me that we don't really have -git here (as with this package as well) as we have proper tags.
I'll then merge all the other current (but mostly broken) packages into those that I suggested.
Thoughts?

Don't bother with replaces/conflicts on AUR to be honest. This whole driver thing is too messy for that. Basically the way this works is you tell me what packages would be useful to end up with the in the end and I'll merge all respective AUR packages into an existing package of a proper name and give you control.
However, I also don't want to destroy any old efforts that exist already but are broken, thereby making it harder for others to pick up the slack.

Strange, I was told it was working to the max. Could your reg zone cap your power? It could be another bug with some specific devices too...

With the old driver I also had the same txpower (12 dbm).

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