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

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
