Arch Linux User Repository

This package now forces to use the branch v5.6.4.2 (the one that works better for me), which is the default one in the remote repository although they still mention branch v5.3.4 as the stable one. If you have any issues, please leave a comment, and also tried to change the branch in the source array. For example, change it to:

source=('rtl88xxau::git+https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git#branch=v5.3.4'

Read the README.me to learn how to set your interface in monitor mode (and other things).

Important: Use ip and iw instead of ifconfig and iwconfig

Currently it's not ready for kernel 6.13, build fails with:

os_dep/linux/ioctl_cfg80211.c:9460:32: error: initialization of ‘int (*)(struct wiphy *, struct net_device *, struct cfg80211_chan_def *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct wiphy *, struct cfg80211_chan_def *)’ [-Wincompatible-po>

Reported upstream issue: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/1224

Solution here: https://github.com/clnhub/rtl8192eu-linux/commit/83cd892775c07c1493e63d20afe4e0cbf6471189

You can add RTL8814AU in keywords and description.

okay, I just deleted both the rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git and rtw88-dkms-git and everything worked without them, I do not know why I did not try this before and why it works like this, but yeah

yes; look at https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/1172

This will not be fixed, per some comment of the dev.

So the PKGBUILD better be stuck at the working commit, right?

airodump-ng does not display any APs on kernel 6.12.4-arch1-1.

I killed processes using check kill, turned on monitoring mode, tried both this aur package and the usual rtw88-dkms-git, nothing helps, does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

Ahoj,

a few issues:

• For a clang compiled kernel, this currently fails with clang: error: unsupported option '-mhard-float' for target 'x86_64-linux-gnu' and error: error: unknown warning option '-Wno-stringop-overread'. (See ↗ upstream issue report).
  For now, a possible fix is to apply ↗ this patch.
• You need to add rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms to the provides and conflicts arrays.
• Consider adding also the other specific modules this provides to the provides array.

Regards and thanks for the package!

Please add aarch64 to the arch=() array. This builds just fine for that architecture but gets stopped because it is not mentioned in the $arch array.

renfbatista: Maybe you should read the DKMS article in the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support). It is obvious that you need to install a headers package to make this work. dkms package only lists those as optional dependencies because you are free to install the kernel package you want. Other people using linux-lts need to install linux-lts-headers, for example, not the one you installed.

I am currently on 6.10.13-3-MANJARO. It took me a lot of time and pain to make it work, but after installing the linux header 6.10 it worked just fine with version 5.6.4.2 of this package. To install the linux headers run:

sudo pacman -S linux-headers
