kelebek333 has a PR to fix 5.18 build
replace 'source' in PKGBUILD with
git+https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8821CU.git#branch=buildfix-518
marcandru commented on 2022-06-01 03:39 (UTC)
Doesn't work with the 5.18 kernel

5.12.0
version has been released in morrownr forkandym commented on 2021-11-24 11:29 (UTC)
You need to uninstall the package and then reinstall it. It will then compile, but there is still the message "Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD".
borneoa commented on 2021-11-23 21:54 (UTC)
It does not compile anymore with kernel v5.15 /var/lib/dkms/rtl8821cu/5.4.1118f1bc7e8/build/core/rtw_br_ext.c:20:18: fatal error: net/ipx.h: No such file or directory 20 | #include <net/ipx.h>
This is due to kernel commit 6c9b40844751 ("net: Remove net/ipx.h and uapi/linux/ipx.h header files"), merged in v5.15-rc1
tjbp commented on 2021-11-21 18:51 (UTC)
Please consider switching to the morrownr fork - the current brektrou fork uses the net/ipx network layer which has been deprecated and removed altogether as of kernel 5.15.3.
Skallwar commented on 2021-07-03 15:08 (UTC)
I've just reinstalled the driver and it works great with both linux
5.10.47-1-lts
and5.12.14-arch1-1
maxpayne3 commented on 2021-07-03 05:39 (UTC)
I suggest you all to upgrade to this newer version.
kokoko3k commented on 2021-06-28 13:55 (UTC)
I followed the advice, but still nothing.
error in log is:

Quick fix from upstream bug report for those that need this working asap (will be overwritten on next package update):
Niilismo commented on 2021-05-06 08:49 (UTC)
@Ilgaz That package is for a separate upstream repo, which doesn't use DKMS. It's also available in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8821cu-git/
As for this one, it seems someone went ahead and reported the problem upstream: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU/issues/132
Ilgaz commented on 2021-05-06 06:34 (UTC)
I am using it under kernel 5.12 on openSUSE TW via this package (perhaps it can help) https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home%3ASauerland/rtl8821cu
Niilismo commented on 2021-05-06 03:04 (UTC) (edited on 2021-05-06 03:22 (UTC) by Niilismo)
Doesn't seem to compile for kernel 5.12. I'm getting this error:
Checking the make.log file, the problem seems to be this:
Same error for the linux-zen kernel, which is also on 5.12.1. It still compiles just fine for the LTS kernel (5.10.34-1-lts), so I'm guessing this driver doesn't work with 5.12. Can anyone confirm the issue so it can be reported upstream?
andym commented on 2021-04-21 13:56 (UTC)
Is there any advantage in using the 5.8.1 version?
Skallwar commented on 2021-04-18 21:08 (UTC)
@khvalera There was a fix on the repo page. I have updated the PKGBUILD let me know if it's working now
Skallwar commented on 2021-04-18 19:22 (UTC)
@khvalera Is it specific to this package or it does not work either using the upstream repo directly ?
@riazufila I don't know. Try it and let us know :)
riazufila commented on 2021-04-14 02:22 (UTC)
Does this driver work with WPA3 AP?
khvalera commented on 2021-03-08 21:23 (UTC)
does not work under armv7h
Ilgaz commented on 2020-11-25 07:11 (UTC)
There is a patch making this dkms module compile&work on Debian and now openSUSE. I tested the patch on openSUSE TW and it works with kernel 5.10.rc5 . see https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU/issues/100#issuecomment-733511163
Ilgaz commented on 2020-11-23 19:56 (UTC)
@simona I am afraid not. I have a kernel supported USB dongle too and it works right after plugging. Realtek does not (it has led too,not lighting).
simona commented on 2020-11-22 17:01 (UTC)
newer kernel core has it inside?
Ilgaz commented on 2020-11-22 15:33 (UTC) (edited on 2020-11-22 15:40 (UTC) by Ilgaz)
I have tested Manjaro kernel 5.10.rc4 right now on "testing" branch Intel i5 64bit system. Unfortunately it fails stating "error 10" when switching kernel. I have the git tree locally too and manually trying to build fails too.
Update: Here is the reason why. Unless those API calls change there is a little hope it will work in 5.10

bug on armv7, attempts to enter /path/to/kernel/headers/build/armv7l; the directory is however /path/to/kernel/headers/build/arm
Also: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU/issues/85 - not sure if this is packager issue or upstream. - Too busy&tired to dig further...
Skallwar commented on 2020-08-24 10:42 (UTC)
@Cuiyn There has been an update on https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU. My dongle is working on Linux 5.8.3.
@Ilgaz Thanks
Cuiyn commented on 2020-08-16 08:15 (UTC)
Because it fails to work on Linux 5.8.x, I am using the modified version on https://github.com/mbrysa/rtl8821CU, and this works fine for me on 5.8.1.
Ilgaz commented on 2020-08-07 18:33 (UTC)
I am using the manual/git download dkms version and it fails to compile on Linux 5.8.x which just released to stable. Saying for heads up.
strobelite commented on 2020-04-29 20:21 (UTC)
@Skallwar I should note that the error I was getting doesn't stop the driver from working. In fact, I'm using it right now to post this comment. Perhaps I should've mentioned this earlier. So the error doesn't really impact me, I just thought it was interesting that someone else was getting the same error.
Skallwar commented on 2020-04-26 13:43 (UTC)
@janentikan That's strange, the fork just change the name and version of the driver
@strobelite Try remove your AUR helper cache to force a clean build. If it does not work, provide a log and I will switch to "https://github.com/ctwfei/rtl8821cu" while trying to solve your problem. I don't like to rely on a fork but if there is no option, so be it.
janentikan commented on 2020-04-21 19:02 (UTC)
@Skallwar Got the same error as @strobelite, but replacing the repo in the pkgbuild to this https://github.com/ctwfei/rtl8821cu seemed to work.
Skallwar commented on 2020-04-18 23:13 (UTC)
@strobelite I use both lts and non lts kernel. I updated my kernel to 5.6.4 this morning and all went fine. Please report this upstream, or find an other repo, I will happily change the upstream repo
strobelite commented on 2020-04-18 21:16 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-18 21:23 (UTC) by strobelite)
I'm still getting the same error. I uninstalled the driver with pacman, uninstalled and removed it with dkms, uninstalled dkms itself, re-installed linux and linux-headers with pacman, rebooted, installed dkms and the driver again (at this point, installing the driver gave no errors) and then reinstalled linux and linux-headers again.
After doing all this, I still get the exact same error, and I suspect that diomekes will get it, too, the next time they update their kernel.
@Skallwar have you tried using a non-LTS kernel????
diomekes commented on 2020-04-18 13:27 (UTC)
That worked. I uninstalled the driver, updated linux and linux-headers, and re-installed the driver. Thanks.
Skallwar commented on 2020-04-18 07:34 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-18 23:09 (UTC) by Skallwar)
I don't get this issue, weird. Have you tried to remove the driver, update your kernel and make a clean build ? I can do anything about your issue, maybe be report it on GitHub ? If you find an other repo wich works for you, please let me know
strobelite commented on 2020-04-17 18:16 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-17 18:17 (UTC) by strobelite)
I've been getting the same error as diomekes for the last week or two when I update my kernel. I'll add my DKMS make log the next time I do an update.
diomekes commented on 2020-04-07 17:14 (UTC)

Skallwar commented on 2020-04-07 13:48 (UTC)
@diomekes Can you provide more info on your system ? I can't reproduce your error with both linux 5.6.2-arch1-2 and linux 5.4.30-1-lts
diomekes commented on 2020-04-07 13:27 (UTC) (edited on 2020-04-07 13:28 (UTC) by diomekes)
I'm getting an "Error! Bad return status for build on kernel" after yesterday's kernel and headers upgrade. I downgraded the headers and it works fine.
Skallwar commented on 2020-03-07 22:01 (UTC)
@bsosenba Done, thanks to bring that up
bsosenba commented on 2020-03-07 21:18 (UTC) (edited on 2020-03-07 21:18 (UTC) by bsosenba)
The git source you have in the PKGBUILD is no longer maintained. Could you please switch to the master branch of the source tree (https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU)? That one is still being actively developed. I just tested that fork on my machine (kernel 5.8) and it's working well
NotchbackDET commented on 2020-01-09 08:43 (UTC)
Yes I would like that! It may help me learn a bit more and I have a USB dongle that has this chipset.
Skallwar commented on 2020-01-09 07:04 (UTC)
Since nariox disowned the package, I have taken ownership of it. I can add you to the co-maintainers list if you want.
NotchbackDET commented on 2020-01-09 02:26 (UTC)
I would be interested in being a maintainer for this module.
nariox commented on 2020-01-02 16:28 (UTC)
I haven't really used this module in a bit, anyone wants to become maintainer?
bezirg commented on 2019-12-29 21:54 (UTC)
@nariox Perhaps it is better to switch to this fork? https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU
It supports kernel up to version 5.5
nariox commented on 2019-12-13 01:40 (UTC)
@mkaczanowski, see if it works for you. (;
mkaczanowski commented on 2019-12-12 21:59 (UTC)
I just built module on a few arm boards and it seems to work fine. Can you add armv7h to supported architectures?
nariox commented on 2019-11-14 22:09 (UTC)
The problem is upstream. There's not much I can do. It seems the patch for 5.4 was released recently. Maybe you can try rebuilding the driver.
archieslove commented on 2019-11-14 16:52 (UTC) (edited on 2019-11-14 17:11 (UTC) by archieslove)
Does it work for you guys after the latest kernel update ? It's just not detecting the adapter anymore. It used to work until a day ago. I couldn't debug it as the PC is with my dad. Anybody facing it?
aufkrawall commented on 2019-10-01 20:21 (UTC)
It works again, thanks for your efforts!
nariox commented on 2019-10-01 15:35 (UTC)
@aufkrawall: I've changed the git repo to one that supports kernel 5.3. See if it works for you.
nariox commented on 2019-09-25 21:09 (UTC)
The problem is upstream. Sorry, can't do much about it. You can use linux-lts for the time-being.
aufkrawall commented on 2019-09-16 10:04 (UTC)
There is no error output while installing/compiling the DKMS module for linux 5.3, but it doesn't work regardless.
Skallwar commented on 2019-04-30 18:27 (UTC)
@nariox Update working on my side, check your inbox :)
Skallwar commented on 2019-04-30 15:59 (UTC)
Hi @nariox I am working on it
nariox commented on 2019-04-30 15:57 (UTC)
Hi @ESTBLC,
could you modify the new PKGBUILD? I don't think I have time to test out and deploy a new version in the coming weeks. I am using this in a raspberry pi, but I didn't see support for it in this repo, so that was one of the draws to the current repo, but it seems whitebatman2 has gone AWOL. If you post a new PKGBUILD, I'll add it, then I can probably send a merge request to add the pi's to brektrou's repo.
Skallwar commented on 2019-04-30 15:39 (UTC)
I recommand switching to this repo since it works out of the box: https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU
barmaley commented on 2019-01-09 17:01 (UTC)
Thank you very much, modifying: /usr/src/rtl8821cu-5.2.5.3_24795.20171031.r18.g0278eaa/os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c with the patch you posted, the issue is gone.
nariox commented on 2019-01-09 15:04 (UTC)
@barmaley: yes. Kernel 4.20 deprecated one of the functions used by the driver. This has been reported here: https://github.com/whitebatman2/rtl8821CU/issues/12
A patch has been submitted, but not yet merged. In the meantime, you have to change a two lines in the code as shown here: https://github.com/whitebatman2/rtl8821CU/pull/14/commits/adb329bdae3d634550660d17af8d98d67b43d483#diff-c39a0cc7e3701496c432e2cfe95097ba

Hi, this module does not build in my systems: attaching make.log

Thanks and best regards
nariox commented on 2018-09-15 02:36 (UTC)
You're very welcome. I'm glad to help other Arch users (: I should be able to modify this script to work for armv7h and armv8 boards, but I haven't had any time to work on it. A big thanks to whitebatman2 as well for maintaining the github repo.
uberGeek commented on 2018-09-15 00:53 (UTC)
Thank you for your effort in providing this driver!
