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

Forget my last comment. Everything works fine with @alxbl suggestion. I guess a reboot was needed.

I could install the driver using @alxbl patch. However, I cannot inject packets. Anyone facing some problem?

The newer versions of GCC consider the cast mentioned by elimpfor as incompatible, and the -Werror flag makes it error out. I've made a quick patch that adds -Wno-error=<...> for the relevant warning. It's a hacky workaround until whenever upstream deals with the warning the way they find appropriate. Here's the patch in case anyone else benefits from it:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

I've also modified my local PKGBUILD to apply this patch automatically in case anyone is interested in that.

Seems broken on kernel 4.19.1:

Getting random disconnections when using this driver for wifi connection with AWUS1900 alfa adapter. Use this driver instead to fix this issue: rtl8814au-dkms-git. EDIT: this aircrack driver works perfectly fine and no idea why it stopped working. Now it works fantastically and has lower ping.

Sharing is caring - this is the same, but updated PKGBUILD to support all ARM devices and RTL8814 as well: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hXmVXmmLstxdGg25cSklFLk4lC54BsVa/view?usp=sharing Enjoy!

for armv7h

is it possible to adapt for the Raspberry Pi? thanks in advance

Does this support rtl8814 as well as rtl8812?
