@S4KB7mMgdW3XzeFA: thanks for the tip, but can you please let me know how/where to get it? The original FTP server from Realtek is not online anymore.

@ fariouche: thanks for the work. I will see to switch to your repo for 8821au at some point.

Hello, apologies for returning so late to the thread, but was busy with work and recovering from illness.
First of all, let's clarify a few things: gordboy is the person who has been pivotal in introducing, maintaining and patching the 5.2.9 and then 5.2.9.3 driver versions. He has done a great job about it and merit our respect. It is distressing to hear that people have been abusive to him. On Github he has been very courteous to me and helpful. The reason why I forked his code is for maintenance reason and the capability of adding my own patches. However his work was so goo that I did not have to change anything! The other reason of course is to prevent breakage in case his repo disappeared on Github, which has unfortunately happened.
Secondly, I can understand that drivers may be frustrating to maintain on Linux. However, ill feelings should be directed toards Realtek, not gordboy or any other people spending their time trying to make these device work. As explained by gordboy, Realtek has now closed their public FTP and we have no capability of finding updated drivers until we have another solution. So if you want to complain, do it to them. But please be courteous.
Thirdly, this is the part i want to address to gordboy: unfortunately the Internet can be full of idiots that just hide behind their pseudonyms. We have to learn to ignore them, because they feed on upsetting people. Ignoring is the best defense! I would love to see you back and continue with you. But that choice is yours. All the best whatever your decision is. The only thing I can tell you is a big thanks for helping sourcing and patching these drivers.

If I contribute code, it will be dysfunctional... Sorry, I'm afraid some of us are not there yet, contributing and participating in much more lesser-mortal-related areas at this stage. PM me if there is anything I could be helpfull with. Willing to help but lack competence.

Hello again.
It's funny how the person that originally made the 5.2.9.3 code work, is somehow a troll. Only in archland eh?
Anyways, I may re-enter the fray, not because I have any great love of abusive arch users, but because it would be selfish of me to fix the driver for kernel 4.15 for myself, and then not share it.
Another reason for reconsidering is that Realtek have removed the source code from their FTP sites. We are now on our own, and I don't see any of you guys apart from fariouche actually fixing anything.
I was not being trollish or insulting to zebulon. On the contrary, I am the guy that made this package actually work. And the reason I pulled out, was because of yet another abusive arch user. I got sick of the day-in day-out abuse from inept people blaming others for their own inadequacies.
Not to labour the point too much, with the honourable exception of fariouche below, do any of you guys actually contribute code, or is it just take, take, take?
End rant.

hello, for information, my github fork based on the rtl8812au driver verdion 5.2.9.3 is working with chipset 8821a. i've taken the 5.1.5 hal. the 5.2.9 driver has a lot of changes, but only because the realtek developper most likely changed and he think that he had to change all the function namings... and also removed device detection by a stupid static compilation flag to select the suported device.
anyway, for those that uses the ap mode with 8821a are strongly encourraged to switch to 5.2.9.3 as this driver fixes the wps security hole found recently.
please not that i did not test in station mode, only ap mode with hostapd
