I just uploaded the PKGBUILD for driver v5.2.20, only for 8812au. It compiles fine with Archlinux stock kernel and linux-ck from AUR. Please let me know of any problem. All credits go to gordboy (from whom I forked the original repo), who worked hard to provide us with this release. See the README file for more information and credits. Enjoy!

Gordboy: thanks a lot for your contribution. I'll pack the driver over the week-end, possibly tonight if time allows. This is great and please I would like to remind the community to stay courteous when reporting issues, if any.

@zebulon
I have now added my repo on GitHub for the 5.2.20 driver. The old 5.2.9.3 driver is now obsolete.
https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au
It now supports up to kernel 4.15, LED control and VHT extras.
For those at the cutting edge, you need updated versions of Network Manager, CRDA and Regulatory DB.

A short update: developers are currently working on the 5.2.20 driver. Integrating the patches for the latest kernel compatibility, as well as some other functions (e,g, LED control) will take a bit of time because of the codebase change. So please be patient and consider 5.2.9 as a safe choice (it is patched for the KRACK vulnerability).

Hi, can someone try to connect to a wpa2 entreprise network (such as eduroam) and tell me if it works, with this driver?
I keep getting stuff like "nl80211: Drv Event 48 (NL80211_CMD_DISCONNECT) received for wlan[…]" messages after EAP identity exchange.
Thanks

Happy new year everyone! Will start to work on it in a couple of days. @gordboy: can you please contact me on my email address, I'll provide you with the 5.2.20 source and the way to get them.

Found a Mercurial repository (i.e. use "hg clone" instead) at https://bitbucket.org/k-hinata/rtl8812au which claims to be of version 5.2.20.
In case a regulatory domain patch is needed, https://github.com/mk-fg/rtl8812au/commit/b3dac6154161cdde7b22735e778d18cf6edaca81 may be of help.

@fariouche
Thank you for porting 5.2.9.3 to rtl8821au. However, the newer version 5.2.20 has a new structure / folder (I do not know how to call it) called "halrf" which contains additional HAL code. For this reason, I think it may be impossible to port 5.2.20 to rtl8821au.

@gordboy I could not find your email address in your AUR user page or in the git log (users.noreply.github.com was used). In addition, I made searches using "gordboy" on PGP keyservers but no result was returned.
I have not heard back from zebulon, but you can contact him for the source code. To be safe (and avoid troubles), when you write emails regarding the driver, I highly recommend using PGP to encrypt them.
