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

@iyanmv of course, sorry for the noise!

iyanmv commented on 2020-08-17 11:13 (UTC)

@kyak: yes, it does. Probably you are using an old commit. Remember that this is a git PKGBUILD so it is your responsibility to keep it up to date.

This kernel module doesn't build with 5.8.1-arch1-1

Ah, I thought they put the most stable branch as default, not the newest. Though it might not be as stable for all users.

iyanmv commented on 2020-08-15 08:07 (UTC)

@jpegxguy because they often change the default branch upstream, and not all the times the default one is necessary the one that works the best. Right now, yes, I'm pointing to the default one (see pinned comment), but maybe it changes in the future.

jpegxguy commented on 2020-08-02 13:46 (UTC)

Why are you forcing the branch in the source array?

solsticedhiver commented on 2020-07-09 09:05 (UTC)

You can make it build on arm (at least rpis) by patching the Makefile.

I suggest changing the PKGBUILD by adding a prepare() function like:

prepare() {
        if [[ $CARCH =~ ^arm ]] ;then
                cd ${srcdir}/${_pkgbase}
                sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
                sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y/g' Makefile
        fi
}

After having the driver from rtl8812au-dkms-git break with a system upgrade, I switched to this one and it works flawlessly without having to fiddle around with it.

@direc85 this is a git package as you can see from the name of the package, so according to AUR guidelines "AUR maintainers should not commit mere pkgver bumps".

You are responsible to update whenever you want. Notice that the PKGBUILD will always try to use the last commit from upstream so you just need to call makepkg. Or you can also use a helper, that's also your choice.
