Build and Install Kernel ModuleĬhili555 suggests qnab while Jerem圓1 chooses aircrack-ng. But it’s just more convenient to manage the source code, especially when I need to rebuild the module for a new kernel. I may download the source code from GitHub without Git. Get the dkms which contains code and tools in linux-headers-generic and build-essential.Get the Git which contains the tool to clone the source code from a git server.Get the build-essential package which includes.I am not going to compile the full kernel. Get only the essential Linux kernel headers.Or the dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework) package: $sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git Get codes and tools in different packages: To enable, I have to download the RTL8122AU driver source code, compile to a kernel module, and add to the kernel.įollowing USB wireless dongles use the RTL8812AU chipset:įor Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 20.04LTS, follow these steps: There is a section added for compilation on the Raspberry Pi, but it is not enabled by default.There is no built-in support for Realtek RTL8812AU in Linux. There is another repo which seem to be maintained by people who (really) know what they're doing and they have added various features. This repo mostly tries to make adjustments so they continue to work on newer kernels. I certainly can't code them, but I'm willing to accept PRs if they're not too intrusive. If you want/need to have features added to the driver, this repo is probably not for you. I can reasonably read C code and make light/simple adjustments, but I'm not a C coder. I have currently successfully compiled the driver on Debian kernel 3.2, 3.16, 4.1-5.2 and on Raspbian with kernel 3.18, 4.1, 4.4, 4.9 and Raspberry Pi kernel 4.19. If fixes are needed for other distrubution with no negative effect on Debian or Raspbian, I'll gladly incorporate those into my repository. The driver (versions) are primarily targetted at Debian and Raspbian, but I have no reason to assume it won't work for other distrubutions. It started out because I found a newer driver then I found elsewhere, namely version 4.3.8.īut since then I found even newer versions released by Realtek and decided to use/update those too.Ĭurrently there are the following branches, named after the initial Realtek driver version. This repository contains drivers for the rtl8812AU and rtl8821AU/rtl8811AU chipsets.
