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

a patch to make it work for rpi and may be other ARM device:

 }

Note: I am seeing the interface of the usb wifi key marketed as DEEPOW dongle (from amazon) changing MAC address at every boot even though I have not set up anything like that in netctl, here.

I don't know if it's a hardware problem or driver problem. However, it's the same with rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git driver

I can confirm freezes with different dongle and same kernel. Just after network connects.

I get random kernel panics and freezes with Alfa AWUS036AC and kernel 4.7.* Not that random really, sometimes it just panics right after I plug the dongle in.

ncoder-2 commented on 2016-08-24 21:27 (UTC)

Works perfectly fine here with an Alfa AWUS036ACH and kernel 4.7.1.

Hi, since kernel has been updated to 4.6.4: the module seems to compile fine, and interface is up, but I cannot connect to the wifi. It times out after 1 minute or so. Anyone else experiencing the same issue? EDIT: gnab package (rtl8812au-dkms-git) works, so it could be a Realtek driver issue?

yaourt just wont auto-update when doing a "yaourt -Syu --aur", but build normaly

ioquatix commented on 2016-07-15 02:37 (UTC)

@Grawp when using yaourt to build this package, because the version hasn't changed it won't re-build. It's an interesting problem, but it makes installing with yaourt a bit more complicated. Just FYI.

timothy.lee commented on 2016-06-12 11:36 (UTC)

@Grawp I apologize. I did not realize the pkgver() function does that.

<deleted-account> commented on 2016-06-11 11:01 (UTC)

@timothy.lee pkgver in this package is autogenerated during makepkg and it always reflects the HEAD of the 4.3.22_beta branch. Learn how makepkg & AUR work and don't flag packages with pkgver() function according to what you see on AUR webpages. The current version is 4.3.22_beta.r10.0658130-1. I've checked that.

raqua commented on 2016-06-10 19:52 (UTC)

I have Edimax EW-7822UAC and this driver keep disconnecting about every 20 minutes. It won't come back until I reconnect the device physically.

timothy.lee commented on 2016-06-09 22:39 (UTC)

Can the package version be updated to reflect change addition of new commit that fixes 4.6 compilation?
