What was in the system journal for the hard lockup? Tbh the problem sounds just like the issue others have had - select a different revision or branch in the PKGBUILD?
I am currently on 6.6.49-1-lts kernel and I'm using the Alfa AWUS036ACS AC600 USB Wireless Adapter and WikiDevi says that this adapter uses the rtl8812au driver. When I use this driver, the LED turns on but the driver somehow messes with my kernel and hangs my PC. I can't use Wireshark on the interface. I have tried rtl8821au from morrownr from GitHub and it still does not work well (crashes and unresponsive). I believe the driver is not updated to the latest kernel and it's breaking something in the background. If anyone has an updated driver/kernel that I can use or a workaround to get it working, please let me know. I am devastated. :/
I'm on kernel 6.9.12-1, rtl8811au based wifi (TP-Link Archer 600 usb). Spent some time looking into the source of pain and v5.6.4.2 has a bunch of refactoring on the most recent revision, leading to hal_itf.c chip ID functions mismatching, unfortunately. https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/commit/c7f8f6e As @iyanmv suggested, changing the git source at pkgbuild to point to the commit just prior to c7f8f6e on branch v5.6.4.2 worked fine:
source=('rtl88xxau::git+https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git#commit=63cf0b4'
This works in kernel 6.8.9, but fails to build with kernel 6.9.1 Something about: ioctl_cfg80211.c:464:17: error: too many arguments to function ‘cfg80211_ch_switch_started_notify’

Hi, i used yay -aSyu --devel to update the driver and it works now, thanks very much
ec22583: If you use yay, I think you can also use yay -aSyu --devel to update git packages.
ec22583: I think yay -S rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git will not use the latest commit from upstream unless you force to do a clean build. What is the output of pacman -Q rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git?
hi iyanmv:
Devices I have it on: Archer T2U, Archer T3U. I have them on my laptop and desktop respectively. I have just did the command
yay -S rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git to make sure i'm on the latest commit.
and yes, I can confirm it does not work on linux 6.8.1 (for me at least)
ec22583: it works just fine on my side. Are you using the latest commit? Remember that this is a -git package so it is your responsibility (or use any good AUR helper) to update regularly to follow upstream.
Does not work on kernel 6.8.1

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 branchv5.3.4as 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:Read the README.me to learn how to set your interface in monitor mode (and other things).
