@a36233: have you got supplementary CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS in your /etc/makepkg.conf than the arch defaults? It compiles fine here with both kernels 4.11.9-1-ARCH and 4.11.11-1-ck. Which kernel do you use?
EDIT: it looks like you have -Werror=incompatible-pointer-types in your CFLAGS, which makes your compiler throw an error in place of a warning. This is not the default in arch, so you might have added this option in makepkg.conf or yur bashrc, etc. This could be corrected in the code, I will look at it anyway.

@greyone: not sure. Have you tried the other 8812au packages on AUR? Is it specific to my version? EDIT: I see the same bcdUSB 2.00 with my adapter (Edimax 1200ac). I will check other sources to see if I can fix this.

It fails to compile with:

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?

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