@zebulon This just broke on my system too. Happened fairly recently, but couldn't tell you the exact kernel update that put the kibosh on it. I'm currently on 6.4.6-arch1-1 but it might've been an update or 2 prior. Not sure if there's been any updates since your last post so bump for visibility. I'll buy new hardware if I need to, but the USB dongle I was using wasn't all that old really. Thank you!

@tag_enk: unfortunately it seems that this driver has not been yet updated to linux kernel version 6. This driver starts to be outdated and you may have better result with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.

Fair warning: this package broke after updating to Linux-LTS 6.1.12-1
Attempted to rebuild DKMS and it would fail to rebuild. Had to roll back to 5.15.94-1-lts in order to get my wifi back.
Would hold off on the latest Linux-LTS kernel if you see this before updating.

Hi all, I will work on updating the package asap.

@leo95: indeed, thanks for the notice. Will do this by tomorrow.

@zebulon you need to change the module name from 8812au to 8821au in the dkms.conf

I have updated the package to 5.8.2.3 as recommended. Please let me know if this works - and if there is any advantage over the aircrack version.

Just received an Orphan request from leo95: as requested I can update the source to using https://github.com/morrownr/8821au as recommended, but this is different from an Orphan. Please let me know if you would like to maintain this.

To all having an issue with this driver: please try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git alternatively.

a patch to make it work for rpi and may be other ARM device:
Note: I am seeing the interface of the usb wifi key marketed as DEEPOW dongle (from amazon) changing MAC address at every boot even though I have not set up anything like that in netctl, here.
I don't know if it's a hardware problem or driver problem. However, it's the same with rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git driver
