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'

Important: Use ip and iw instead of ifconfig and iwconfig

Thanks for a great work on this package! I have a question and maybe someone here knows or can point in the right direction. I have an USB external adapter with two antennas. Is it possible to create one AP at 2.4 GHz and and one at 5 GHz at the same time? What I have found on the internet is: Maybe if two interfaces are created for the adapter. Is this something rtl88xxau driver can do? Is it depending on adapter or maybe just "no can do".

Cheers!

@banzr not really, what if someone uses linux-lts, linux-hardened or linux-zen? Why would they want linux-headers on their system? I think people using dkms should take care of installing the headers they need. All these are mentioned as optional dependencies when installing dkms.

This package is missing a dependency to linux-headers.

Versions of this driver after r918.73f0a88 still completely knocks out my system as described below. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git/#comment-716905 r918.73f0a88 still works fine.

@ayuksel this is rtl88xxau not rtl8814au

I am not sure how to log it or necessarily prove it, but I am on Manjaro with kernel 5.3. I am using the netgear A7000 with rtl8814au, and I am not having an issue with detection but for some reason the connection keeps randomly dropping on a very consistent basis. I had tried with this ubuntu and it had turned out fine with kernel 5.0, but now on Manjaro it is not working at all. Also, when the connection does drop my network manager still says I'm connected to the network, but it won't load anything and the traffic for both upload/download drop to 0.

Thanks

I have adapter Asus USB-AC56 (RTL8812AU). I use NetworkManager with IWD backend. Currently I've landed on using commit r918.73f0a88 for this driver, with the addition of cherrypicking commit https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/commit/55484785ccb2b6bdf7a8227f685092d7c67cb976.patch/ to turn off the enormous flow of debug messages that spammed my logs and rendered them utterly useless. This setup is working very well for me. I've also tried using the currently latest commit in the repo. But somewhere between r918.73f0a88 and r965.a8ec357 there's snuck in a commit that hangs my system; can't use shell, can't reboot by software, and I wouldn't know how to start debugging that with an unuseable system.

For those, whom network card stopped working after latest AUR package update to v5.6.2 or v5.6.1.

By reverting to v.5.3.4, my device has stated working again both 2.4G and 5G. OS:Arch Linux Kernel:4.19.84-1-lts Device: TP-Link AC600 T2U Plus
