To all having an issue with this driver: please try these alternate packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw88-dkms-git or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.

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 just pushed patches for kernel 4.15 into this repository. Should now build with the kernel in Testing.

@remy.grunblatt:I am sorry I cannot help, I do not have access to such networks. There are tips to configure WPA2 Enterprise and eduroam specifically in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#WPA2_Enterprise but I suppose you already checked out the advice here?

Hi, can someone try to connect to a wpa2 entreprise network (such as eduroam) and tell me if it works, with this driver?

I keep getting stuff like "nl80211: Drv Event 48 (NL80211_CMD_DISCONNECT) received for wlan[…]" messages after EAP identity exchange.

Thanks

I have uploaded a patched version that compiles for 4.14 kernels on Arch. Also, dkms.conf now supports multi-threading.

zebulon commented on 2017-12-15 12:56 (UTC)

Hi, apologies for the lates answer. I have been ill and it was difficult for me to maintain th epackage. I'll patch it for kernel 4.14 soon.

This patch makes it work with kernel 4.14: https://github.com/paspro/rtl8812au/commit/da706779e3062325337298461dd6f8c606bb776f

This adapter is a pita. I'll never buy a wifi adapter without double checking linux compatibility.

capoeira commented on 2017-12-03 19:22 (UTC)

every other kernel it breaks now

Phate666 commented on 2017-12-03 17:54 (UTC)
