Hello, I have "Netis wf2190" configured as AP with hostapd. My device is recognized as usb2.0 (bcdUSB 2.0) instead as usb3.0. Is this a driver or OS issue or I did something incorrect? In general I don't have any other problems using this driver. My kernel is 4.11.9-1-ARCH. Thank you!

There is changelog (ReleaseNotes.pdf) inside the driver package. It is quite simple and uses words like "Fix XXX issue" or "Update XXX". According to Jes Sorensen: https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2016/ocw/system/presentations/4089/original/2016-11-02-rtl8xxxu-presentation.pdf Realtek development process 1)Respin hardware 2)cp -a driver-<oldchip> driver-<newchip> 3)Hack driver-<newchip> 4)Release driver-<newchip> 5)goto 1 Think twice before you buy Realtek wireless adapters which have no driver in kernel.

@rollenwiese: you are right, there are a few VIDs that are missing in my version. I will push them to my repo soon.

@bhrgovlh: very useful, thanks (even without translation ;) We learn that there was no official driver between 4.3.20 and 5.1.5. It also confirms what I suspected: driver 4.3.22 is not stable and probably not fresher than 4.3.20. Glad to see that Realtek is doing some cleanup in their mess, but on the other hand the culture of secrecy and lack of changelog is really a pain. Their main website has no 8812AU driver at all!

@bhrgovlh: many thanks. Any idea where this driver comes from, and if other repos have already integrated it?

<deleted-account> commented on 2017-07-10 05:08 (UTC)

5.2.9 driver is available but the HAL part has been rewritten (somehow), and I was not able to use the old RTL8811AU/8821AU HAL codes. RTL8811AU/8821AU users please continue to use version 5.1.5. In addition, I have no RTL8812AU chipset (which is the only one supported by 5.2.9) to test so I cannot guarantee it will work. Interested parties please feel free to fork the repository and make changes as you like. https://bitbucket.org/irizaki/rtl8812au_5.2.9 (Mercurial repository)

Thank you! This driver works like a charm! And I'm really happy to see recent updates to the code on github.

Wow thank you so much for this zebulon! The 5.1.5 firmware allows 5g to function on my TP-Link Archer T4U. Everything is stable and fast as I have ever seen with this device. lsusb doesn't show the device name as being detected (ID 2357:0101), but that's minor. Thanks again.
