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 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 :)

@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

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?

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

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

@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.

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 :/

Hi, I'm trying to get a Netgear A6100 (AC600) to work alongside the internal Wifi adapter of my notebook. I've successfully installed this package and have the module loaded, but `ip link' still only lists the internal adapter as `wlan0'. Is there anything I have missed? Any help would be appcreciated! `lsusb' gives me `Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0846:9052 NetGear, Inc. A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU]' and `lsmod | grep 8812au' prints `8812au 2158592 0 cfg80211 483328 5 ath,ath9k_common,ath9k,mac80211,8812au usbcore 200704 8 uvcvideo,ohci_hcd,ohci_pci,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,8812au,xhci_hcd,xhci_pci'

@0X1A Yep. New kernel (4.2), new problems. I'll have a look at it tomorrow. The Linux *80211 APIs are ever-changing :) If you can't wait you can try to fix it and then send me a pull request. https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au
