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'm Trying to build 4.3.22 by adding #branch=4.3.22 to the PKGBUILD source=('git+https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au#branch=4.3.22' however after the package installed it fails to complete dpkg ------- Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/r6.88e6783/source -> /usr/src/rtl8812au_rtl8821au-r6.88e6783 DKMS: add completed. Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Building module: cleaning build area... 'make' KVER=4.3.3-3-ARCH...(bad exit status: 2) Error!

Got the error: 8812au: Unknown symbol wiphy_new (err 0) And gnab distro is working the same time. upd: just need to comment out //#define CONFIG_IOCTL_CFG80211 1 in include/autoconf.h

I think I'm having the same problem as @lost-echo. I just bought a Gymle 802.11AC Wifi dongle (this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012YR5IE4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00), and it says it has a Realtek RTL8811AU chipset. The driver installs fine, and I can `modprobe` it, but then the device doesn't appear to be claimed: ``` *-usb:1 UNCLAIMED description: Generic USB device product: 802.11ac WLAN Adapter vendor: Realtek physical id: 3 bus info: usb@2:3 version: 2.00 serial: 00e04c000001 capabilities: usb-2.10 configuration: maxpower=500mA speed=480Mbit/s ``` If it helps, here's my `lsusb`: `Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0bda:a811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.` I tried using the newer beta branch, too, but no luck. Any help in this respect would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ah, that makes sense! Consider this one voted for :)

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-10-09 07:37 (UTC)

@LordAro This is DEFINITELY not duplicated. This is based on Realtek's v 4.3.14 which is MUCH newer than completely archaic v4.2.2_7502.20130517 the Gnab's repo is based on. https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au/blob/master/include/rtw_version.h I have also a branch with v4.3.22beta driver on my github. One can try it by modifying URL in PKGBUILD and adding #branch=4.3.22

LordAro commented on 2015-10-09 07:18 (UTC)

This appears to be duplicated with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git, or am I missing something? the gnab github repo seems to be more popular as well, perhaps it would be better to work together on that one?

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-17 19:42 (UTC)

@lost-echo I've added A6100's vendor and product ID to the driver. Please try it.

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-17 18:16 (UTC)

Fixed building on 4.2 kernels. I have not tested the functionality yet though.

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-17 07:02 (UTC)

@lost-echo Have a look at https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au/blob/master/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c You probably just need to add AC6100 vendor:product ids. @0X1A & anybody waiting for the version for Linux 4.2: I haven't had much time lately but it's coming! I'll have it probably before the weekend.

<deleted-account> commented on 2015-09-16 18:36 (UTC)

By the way, to complete my previous comment: `lshw' shows `*-usb UNCLAIMED description: Generic USB device product: 802.11ac WLAN Adapter vendor: Realtek physical id: 1 bus info: usb@3:1 version: 2.00 serial: 00e04c000001 capabilities: usb-2.10 configuration: maxpower=500mA speed=480Mbit/s' Which (from my understanding) means that the driver doesn't claim the device :/
