rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

rtl8812AU_8821AU linux kernel driver for AC1200 (801.11ac) Wireless Dual-Band USB Adapter

Autocompiling with DKMS

sudo cp -R . /usr/src/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux-1.0
sudo dkms add -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
sudo dkms build -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0
sudo dkms install -m rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux -v 1.0

To compile on the raspberry pi using raspian

You first need kernel headers (and the corresponding kernel binary) to build your module.

sudo apt-get install linux-image-rpi-rpfv linux-headers-rpi-rpfv dkms build-essential bc

Then, tell raspbian to boot your newly installed kernel. Append this at end of /boot/config.txt and reboot your Pi:

kernel=vmlinuz-3.10-3-rpi
initramfs initrd.img-3.10-3-rpi followkernel

Edit Makefile and turn on pi and off x86

Turn off CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n

Turn on CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y

Cd to the directory where your source is and compile

cd /usr/src/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
sudo make clean 
sudo make 
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -a 8812au
