Arch Linux User Repository

@sethox, I've patched an updated driver. This package is orphaned, you can install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8822bu-dkms/ instead, which includes my patch.

Anyone else gets an error?

Please don't manually set make -j in the PKGBUILD, that's what makepkg.conf is for so that each user can decide on their own. Thanks.

Upstream don't have fixed releases, please make this a VCS pkgbuild https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines#VCS_sources

Definitely need linux**-headers as a dependency and the md5sum is currently out of date. Its better to download an install the driver directly from the upstream link

https://github.com/EntropicEffect/rtl8822bu

PKGBUILD is wrong (for me at least) and IMHO should be updated to contain * 'linux-headers' as a make dependency (and probably linux so that uname -r outputs the correct kernel version, i.e. linux and linux-headers versions are in sync) * the correct md5sum of the master.zip as follows:

Thank you very much for submitting this! Unfortunately I am getting this:
