@zebulon: Ok, thanks, just change it. Regarding the v5.3.4, in my case injection does not work, so till they fix those issues or they change to the v5.3.9 base, I will leave the old branch. I will edit my pinned comment with the instructions to try the other branch.

Alright! Time to vote for this package, people! It covers all the others nicely

Great. Just some thoughts: in the description, you wrote 88XX cards, I think it should be 88XXau (USB adapters only) since there are other 88xx non USB or with bluetooth adapters, which use different drivers. Also, you may want to add conflicts with rtl8821au-dkms-git and rtl8814au-dkms-git since this version covers all of these adapters. Finallz, for those who want to try 5.3.4, they can simply edit line 22 and check out the 5.3.4 branch. There is no sha256 sum check, thus no difficulty (not tested yet though...)

My suggestion:
You should put the full names in the description or the tags (like 8812au, 8814au e.t.c.) so that this package comes up in the results. It does come up if I omit the "au", but judging from the Ubuntu forum posts and other discussions online, most people will search for it with the 8812au keyword for example. Let them see this beautiful package as well. Good work, that repo. They've really worked on this driver.

Hi @jpegxguy! Thanks for the feedback. Good to know that branch v5.3.4 works better for you. I'm still trying to understand the most important differences between them before making a decision to change the PKGBUILD. I will keep an eye to more comments and this issue in the repo https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/180.

I must say the 5.3.4 branch works much better for me. The normal 5.2.20 has issues finding my SSID. That said, I did see a stack trace in dmesg. It might be NetworkManager's fault though. I don't know if that's generally the case or just this branch.
My device: D-Link DWA-171 rev A1.

@zebulon: Ok, perfect (I missed that detail in the wiki hehe). So correct me if I am wrong: I create a new package with the name rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git in my case), I use replaces with this one, and then I request to merge comments of this one with the new, right?
zebulon commented on 2019-01-29 19:52 (UTC) (edited on 2019-01-29 19:53 (UTC) by zebulon)
@iyanmv: PKGBUILD rules state only lower case for names (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#Package_name), so rtl88xxau-dkms-git. Now for the module name, you are free to keep 88XXau as in the original source. Thanks again for the work!
Edit: for the renaming part, you can use replaces= the old name to allow smooth transition.

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).
