8812au-20210629's Introduction

8812au ( 8812au.ko ) 🚀

Notice: A newer version of this driver is now available at the following location:

https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820

This new driver is based on updated source from Realtek. It is the last release of source from Realtek for this chipset. There are numerous minor updates and improvements in this driver. The following modes are supported:

IBSS (ad-hoc)
Managed (client)
AP (master) (see file 8812au.conf for hostapd configuration information)
P2P-client (Wi-Fi Direct)
P2P-GO (Wi-Fi Direct)
Concurrent

Note: Monitor mode is not supported. Linux users that want good support for monitor mode in a dual band or tri-band adapter should seek out USB WiFi adapters based on the mt7610u, mt7612u or mt7921au chipsets.

This repo will be taken down around one month after the repo for the new driver is made public. I hope everyone enjoys the new driver.

Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8812AU Chipset

v5.13.6 (Realtek) (20210629) plus updates from the Linux community

Note: Please read the file "supported-device-IDs" for information about how to confirm that this is the correct driver for your adapter.

Note: Posting this driver is not a recommendation for Linux users to buy USB WiFi adapters based on the Realtek chipsets supported by this driver. Realtek out-of-kernel wifi drivers, such as this one, are not Linux Wireless Standards compliant and appear to be designed to be used by skilled programmers producing products such as embedded systems. Users of desktop and server distros such as Ubuntu, Debian, Manjaro, Fedora, Raspberry Pi OS and other mainline desktop and server distros will likely find adapters that use in-kernel drivers (Linux Wireless Standards compliant) to be more stable and much more trouble-free. The following links will provide more information:

Compatible CPU Architectures

x86, i386, i686
x86-64, amd64
armv6l, armv7l (arm)
aarch64 (arm64)

Note: Additional CPU architectures may work but I currently only have the hardware to test the above.

Compatible Kernels

Kernels: 4.19 - 5.11 (Realtek)
Kernels: 5.12 - 6.8 (community support)

Note: Kernels earlier than 4.19 may work but are not tested or supported.

Tested Compilers

gcc 10, 11, 12 and 13

Tested Linux Distributions

Note: The information in this section depends largely on user reports which can be provided via PR or message in Issues.

Arch Linux (kernels 5.4, 5.11, 6.6 and 6.7)
Armbian (kernel 5.15) (Rock 4 SE (Rock 4b image with xfce))
Debian (kernels 5.10, 5.15 and 6.1)
Fedora Fedora 38 (6.2.13-300)
Kali Linux (kernel 6.3)
Manjaro (kernel 5.15)
openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling) (kernel 5.15)
Raspberry Pi OS (2023-05-03)(ARM 32 bit and 64 bit) (kernel 6.1.38)
Raspberry Pi Desktop (2022-07-01) (x86 32 bit) (kernel 5.10)
SkiffOS for Odroid XU4 (ARM 32 bit) (kernel 6.0.7)
Ubuntu 22.04 (kernel 5.15) and 22.10 (kernel 5.19) (kernel 6.2)
Void Linux (kernel 5.18)

Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and distros based on RHEL are supported by Red Hat devs due to the way kernel patches are handled in Red Hat. I support knowledgable RHEL developers if they want to merge the required support and keep it current. I reserve the right to delete this support without notice if it causes any problems.

Current RHEL maintainer: none

Note: Android is supported in the driver according to Realtek. I will support knowledgable Android developers if they want to merge and keep current the required support (most likely just instructions about how to compile and maybe a modification or two to the Makefile).

Current Android maintainer: none

Note: OpenWRT is not supported. OpenWRT provides drivers for USB WiFi adapters. OpenWRT provided drivers include support for the MT7921au (AXE3000), MT7612u (AC1200), MT7610u (AC600) chipsets. It is a challenge to use Realtek based adapters that use out-of-kernel drivers with OpenWRT so it is strongly advised to use the already supported chipsets.

Compatible Devices

ALFA AWUS036AC

Numerous adapters that are based on the supported chipset.

Note: If you are looking for information about what adapter to buy, click here and look for Main Menu item 2 which will show information about and links to recommended adapters.

Note: If you decide to buy an adapter that is supported by this driver, I recommend you search for an adapter that is single-state and single-function. Multi-function adapters, wifi and bluetooth, can be problematic. The rtl8852bu chipset is multi-fuction. The rtl8832bu chipset is single-function. For advice about single-state and multi-state adapters. click here and look for Main Menu item 1.

Installation Information

Warning: It is recommended that you follow the installation instructions in the Installation Steps section. Avoid installation by downloading the zip file if at all possible. Support can only be provided, on a best effort basis, if the Installation Steps in the next section are followed.

Warning: Installing multiple out-of-kernel drivers for the same hardware usually does not end well. The install-driver.sh script has the capability to detect and remove most conflicting drivers but not all. If this driver does not work well after installation and you have previously installed a driver that you did not remove, it is suggested that you run the following command in an effort to determine if you need to take action to manually remove conflicting drivers:

sudo dkms status

Warning: If you decide to do a distro upgrade, which will likely install a new version of kernel such as 5.15 to 6.1, you need to update this driver with the newest available code and then run the removal script before performing the disto upgrade. Use the following commands in the driver directory:

git pull

Note: Do not reboot before running the below command so that the driver stays active until after your distro upgrade is complete.

sudo sh remove-driver.sh

Note: The following command will reinstall the updated driver after you are finished with the distro upgrade and reboot.

sudo sh install-driver.sh

Internet access is required for initial installation. There are numerous ways to enable temporary internet access depending on your hardware and situation. One method is to use tethering from a phone.. Another method is to keep a WiFi adapter that uses an in-kernel driver in your toolkit.

You will need to use the terminal interface. The quick way to open a terminal: Ctrl+Alt+T (hold down on the Ctrl and Alt keys then press the T key).

An alternative terminal is to use SSH (Secure Shell) from the same or from another computer, in which case you will be in a suitable terminal after logging in, but this step requires that an SSH daemon/server has already been configured. (There are lots of SSH guides available, e.g., for the Raspberry Pi and for Ubuntu. Do not forget to secure the SSH server.)

You will need to have sufficient access rights to use sudo so that commands can be executed as the root user. (If the command sudo echo Yes returns "Yes", with or without having to enter your password, you do have sufficient access rights.)

DKMS is used for the installation, if available. DKMS is a system utility which will automatically recompile and reinstall this driver when a new kernel is installed. DKMS is provided by and maintained by Dell.

It is recommended that you do not delete the driver directory after installation as the directory contains information and scripts that you may need in the future.

Secure Boot: see FAQ.

Installation Steps

Note: The installation instructions are for the novice user. Experienced users are welcome to alter the installation to meet their needs. Support will be provided, on a best effort basis, based on the steps below. Another way to word this paragraph is that if you do not follow the below steps for installation, you are your own tech support.

Step 1: Open a terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Update and upgrade system packages (select the option for the distro you are using)

Note: If your Linux distro does not fall into one of options listed below, you will need to research how to update and upgrade your system packages.

Option for Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu, Kali, Armbian and Raspberry Pi OS

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Option for Arch based distributions such as Manjaro

sudo pacman -Syu

Option for Fedora based distributions

sudo dnf upgrade

Option for openSUSE based distributions

sudo zypper update

Option for Void Linux

sudo xbps-install -Syu

Note: It is recommended that you reboot your system at this point. The rest of the installation will appreciate having a fully up-to-date system to work with. The installation can then be continued with Step 3.

sudo reboot

Step 3: Install the required packages (select the option for the distro you are using)

Note: If your Linux distro does not fall into one of options listed below, you will need to research how to properly setup up the development environment for your system. General guidance follows.

Development Environment Requirements: (package names may vary by distro)

Mandatory packages: gcc make bc kernel-headers build-essential git
Highly recommended packages: dkms rfkill iw ip
Mandatory packages if Secure Boot is active: openssl sign-file mokutil

Note: The below options should take care of the mandatory and highly recommended requirements. If Secure Boot is active on your system, please also install the mandatory packages for Secure Boot as shown above.

Option for Armbian (arm64)

sudo apt install -y build-essential

Option for Raspberry Pi OS (arm/arm64)

sudo apt install -y raspberrypi-kernel-headers build-essential bc dkms git

Option for Debian, Kali, and Raspberry Pi Desktop (x86)

sudo apt install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential bc dkms git libelf-dev rfkill iw

Option for Ubuntu (all official flavors) and the numerous Ubuntu based distros

sudo apt install -y build-essential dkms git iw

Option for Fedora

Note: Fedora users should also install openssl if secure boot is active.

sudo dnf -y install git dkms kernel-devel

Option for openSUSE

sudo zypper install -t pattern devel_kernel dkms

Option for Alpine

sudo apk add linux-lts-dev make gcc

Option for Void Linux

sudo xbps-install linux-headers dkms git make

Options for Arch and Manjaro (if using Manjaro for RasPi4B, see note)

If using pacman

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm linux-headers dkms git bc iw

Note: The following is needed if using Manjaro for RasPi4B.

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm linux-rpi4-headers dkms git bc

Note: If you are asked to choose a provider, make sure to choose the one that corresponds to your version of the linux kernel (for example, "linux510-headers" for Linux kernel version 5.10). If you install the incorrect version, you'll have to uninstall it and install the correct version.

If using other methods, please follow the instructions provided by those methods.

Step 4: Create a directory to hold the downloaded driver

mkdir -p ~/src

Step 5: Move to the newly created directory

cd ~/src

Step 6: Download the driver

git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629.git

Step 7: Move to the newly created driver directory

cd ~/src/8812au-20210629

Step 8: Run the installation script (`install-driver.sh`)

Important: The compilation may fail if the major version of gcc that is in use is not the same as the major version of the gcc that was used to compile the kernel that is in use:

Example of bad situation:

gcc 12.1 (used to compile the kernel)
gcc 10.3 (version of gcc in use)

Example of good situation:

gcc 12.2 (used to compile the kernel)
gcc 12.1 (version of gcc in use)

To determine the values:

cat /proc/version

gcc --version

If you find your system in a bad situation, it is recommended that you install a version of gcc that matches the major version of gcc that was used to compile your kernel. Here is an example for Ubuntu:

sudo apt install gcc-12

Note: If your system is a low memory system, it is recommended that you terminate running apps so as to provide the maximum amount of RAM to the compilation process.

Note: For automated builds (non-interactive), use NoPrompt as an option.

sudo ./install-driver.sh

sudo sh install-driver.sh

Note: If you elect to skip the reboot at the end of the installation script, the driver may not load immediately and the driver options will not be applied. Rebooting is strongly recommended.

Note: Fedora users that have secure boot turned on may need to run the following to enroll the key:

sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/dkms/mok.pub

Manual Installation Instructions

Note: The installation script, install-driver.sh, automates the installation process, however, if you want to or need to do a basic command line installation, use the following:

make clean

make -j$(nproc)

If secure boot is off:

sudo make install

sudo reboot

If secure boot is on:

Note: Please read to the end of this section before coming back here to enter commands.

sudo make sign-install

Note: You will be promted for a password, please remember the password as it will be used in some of the following steps.

sudo reboot

The MOK managerment screen will appear during boot:

Shim UEFI Key Management

Press any key...

Select "Enroll key"

Select "Continue"

Select "Yes"

When promted, enter the password you entered earlier.

Warning: If you enter the wrong password, your computer will not be bootable. In this case, use the BOOT menu from your BIOS to boot then as follows:

sudo mokutil --reset

Restart your computer. Use the BOOT menu from BIOS to boot. In the MOK managerment screen, select reset MOK list, then reboot and retry from the above step sudo make sign-install.

Note: If you use the Manual Installation Instructions, you will need to repeat the installation process each time a new kernel is installed in your distro.

Manual Removal Instructions

To remove the driver if installed by the Manual Installation Instructions:

sudo make uninstall

sudo reboot

Note: If you use the manual installation instructions, or if dkms is not installed, you will need to repeat the process each time a new kernel is installed in your distro.

Driver Options (`edit-options.sh`)

Note: In Linux, driver options are called module parameters.

A file called 8812au.conf will be installed in /etc/modprobe.d by default if you use the installation script, install-driver.sh. If you are following the Manual Installation Instructions, you can use the edit-options.sh script to install and/or edit the file.

Note: The installation script, install-driver.sh. will prompt you to edit the options.

8812au.conf will be read and applied to the driver on each system boot.

To edit the driver options file, run the edit-options.sh script

sudo ./edit-options.sh

Note: Documentation for Driver Options is included in the file 8812au.conf.

Upgrading the Driver

Note: Linux development is continuous therefore work on this driver is continuous.

Note: Upgrading the driver is advised in the following situations:

if a new or updated version of the driver needs to be installed
if a distro version upgrade is going to be installed (i.e. going from kernel 5.10 to kernel 5.15)

Step 1: Move to the driver directory

cd ~/src/8812au-20210629

Step 2: Remove the currently installed driver

sudo ./remove-driver.sh

Step 3: Pull updated code from this repo

git pull

Step 4: Install the driver

sudo ./install-driver.sh

Removal of the Driver (`remove-driver.sh`)

Note: Removing the driver is advised in the following situations:

if driver installation fails
if the driver is no longer needed

Note: The following removes everything that has been installed, with the exception of the packages installed in Step 3 and the driver directory. The driver directory can be deleted after running this script.

Step 1: Open a terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+T)

Step 2: Move to the driver directory

cd ~/src/8812au-20210629

Step 3: Run the removal script

Note: For automated builds (non-interactive), use NoPrompt as an option.

sudo ./remove-driver.sh

Recommended WiFi Router/ Access Point Settings

Note: These are general recommendations, some of which may not apply to your specific situation.

Security: Set WPA2-AES or WPA2/WPA3 mixed or WPA3. Do not set WPA2 mixed mode or WPA or TKIP.
Channel width for 2.4 GHz: Set 20 MHz fixed width. Do not use 40 MHz or 20/40 automatic.
Channels for 2.4 GHz: Set channel 1 or 6 or 11 depending on the congestion at your location. Do not set automatic channel selection. As time passes, if you notice poor performance, recheck congestion and set channel appropriately. The environment around you can and does change over time.
Mode for 2.4 GHz: For best performance, set "N only" if you no longer use B or G capable devices.
Network names: Do not set the 2.4 GHz Network and the 5 GHz Network to the same name. Note: Unfortunately many routers come with both networks set to the same name. You need to be able to control which network that is in use so changing the name of one of the networks is recommended. Since many IoT devices use the 2.4 GHz network, it may be better to change the name of the 5 GHz network.
Channels for 5 GHz: Not all devices are capable of using DFS channels (I'm looking at you Roku.) It may be necessary to set a fixed channel in the range of 36 to 48 or 149 to 165 in order for all of your devices to work on 5 GHz. (For US, other countries may vary.)
Best location for the WiFi router/access point: Near center of apartment or house, at least a couple of feet away from walls, in an elevated location. You may have to test to see what the best location is in your environment.
Check congestion: There are apps available for smart phones that allow you to get an idea of the congestion levels on WiFi channels. The apps generally go by the name of WiFi Analyzer or something similar.

After making and saving changes, reboot the router.

Recommendations regarding USB

Moving your USB WiFi adapter to a different USB port has been known to fix a variety of problems.
If connecting your USB WiFi adapter to a desktop computer, use the USB ports on the rear of the computer. Why? The ports on the rear are directly connected to the motherboard which will reduce problems with interference and disconnection.
If your USB WiFi adapter is USB 3 capable and you want it to operate in USB3 mode, plug it into a USB 3 port.
Avoid USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports if possible as almost all currently available adapters have been tested with USB 3.1 Gen 1 (aka USB 3) and not with USB 3.1 Gen 2.
If you use an extension cable and your adapter is USB 3 capable, the cable needs to be USB 3 capable (if not, you will be limited to USB 2 speeds).
Extention cables can be problematic. A way to check if the extension cable is the problem is to plug the adapter temporarily into a USB port on the computer.
Some USB WiFi adapters require considerable electrical current and push the capabilities of the power available via USB port. One example is adapters that use the Realtek 8814au chipset. Using a powered multiport USB extension can be a good idea in cases like this.

guide for wpa3 would be great

hi for the linux beginners a guide for the wpa3 would be super!

airgeddon does not work properly when concurrent mode is enabled

iw dev :

When I select wlan0 as the device, I can scan and attack, but can't establish a phishing hotspot and start gon correctly

When I select wlan1 as the device, it can only scan but not attack

Can this issue be further addressed?

Very much looking forward to it.

Thank you for your work.

Removal script error

Hi, thanks a lot for the driver!

I ran into some minor error when attempting to remove the driver. When running remove-driver.sh, the driver is being removed from dkms, but the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ and /usr/src/ remain on the system and have to be deleted manually.
The script throws the message:

Connection activation failed: (53) The Wi-Fi network could not be found

After following installation instructions, I successfully installed the driver for an AWUS036AC adapter. However, I cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network no matter what network I choose (all of them exist). I receive an Wi-Fi network could not be found issue. I'm working on HP/Kali VirtualBox installed on Ubuntu.

Ongoing test results

@Matheus-Garbelini
All,

I have continued testing this new driver. I've got to say that this and the new 8811au driver (8821au) are the best out-of-kernel USB WiFi drivers I've ever seen. I knew from comparing the code of the previous version to this version that a lot of new code was in this driver.

Managed mode is faster. Here is an iperf3 result:

[ 5] 40.00-41.00 sec 57.5 MBytes 482 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes
[ 5] 41.00-42.00 sec 55.0 MBytes 461 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes
[ 5] 42.00-43.00 sec 60.0 MBytes 503 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes
[ 5] 43.00-44.00 sec 58.8 MBytes 493 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes
[ 5] 44.00-45.00 sec 57.5 MBytes 482 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes
[ 5] 45.00-46.00 sec 58.8 MBytes 493 Mbits/sec 0 1.89 MBytes

Master mode seems to just work.

Monitor mode has been surprising in that I have not had to make any code additions or changes.

That is not to say that things are perfect because some things just work different than what we would expect which is why I added the Monitor_Mode.md document and the start-mon.sh script to help test and set things up. But the bottom line is that this driver appears to be VERY stable. That lack of stability has historically been an issue with older versions of this driver.

I think we can move into maintenance mode and look to fix and upgrade various issues that come up.

Enjoy.

hostapd not editable

Hello,

I don´t know if this issue really depends on the driver, but every time I edit my hostapd, save the file and reboot - my entries (channel, ssid...) are gone and replaced with the default ones.

Is there a solution or what I´m doing wrong?

Thank you.

small error while compilig against 5.17.0

Hello,

Sorry to bother again. Have waited some months before reporting. But the build still breaks with kernel 5.17. Seems to be small flaw, though.
So, below the log, hoping it will be a small effort this time to fix the error.

Hi,
I'm using 2 nvidia tx2 boards for wireless module. After installing rtl8812au driver, I checked normal wifi connection is no problem. But in ad-hoc mode the boards can't communicate each other even though they are in same essid, cell, frequency...
Is this a known issue?
Thanks a lot.

Add possibility of using secure boot

I found that the kernel will not allow insertion of the drive on my system. openSUSE 15.3 on an x86_64 system. Per the openSUSE forum, I found that the issue was caused because I used secure boot. Disabling secure boot fixed the issue, but I have Windows 11 on the same machine, which requires secure boot. Is there any chance of building an efi version or addition to the driver?

(solved) Humble request for channels 52-64 and/or 100-140

Hello, I've recently got an USB device with a rtl8812au chip, ID 0bda:8812. It's working fine using this driver on a fresh Ubuntu 21.10 and for channels 36, 40, 44 and 48. But as the ISP-preconfigured wireless routers from three of my neighbours span 80MHz-networks over this frequency range, it's a bit crowded.
Using an Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.4, I was able to use Gordboys driver: https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2
With his driver and the option rtw_country_code=DE (compare to gordboy/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2#18 ), I can connect to my DFS-capable access point on the upper channels, tested with channels 52 and 100. So I know my hardware is able to do this.
As Gordboy is not maintaining his repository anymore, I'd very much appreciate if you could find the time to get the upper channels usable with your driver, too. Maybe one could salvage some code that deals with the correct region setting from Gordboy's driver?

(As I am not a native english speaker, I hope my text is understandable.)

Thank you for all your efforts so far!

(solved, sort of) Driver not working on Fedora 35 kernel 5.16.7-200.fc35.x86_64 (disable secure boot)

Hello,
I installed the driver on Fedora 35 workstation kernel 5.16.7-200.fc35.x86_64 and the driver isn't working.
I am using the Alfa AC1200.
The driver works on my Raspberry PI.
I'm not sure what I should do from here and support would be appreciated.

(solved) Edimax AC600 USB Not Supported (this repo does not support the 8811au chipset. See: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 )

The Edimax AC600 USB adapter (EW-7811UAC) does not appear to be supported by this driver though it is working with the aircrack-ng version.
USB ID 7392:a812
Edimax has a driver released on their website https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/us/download/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811uac

Driver appears to install correctly but is not functional in network manager, and I think does show up with lsmod.

I thank you for your patience. Artic LXqt openRC Linux 5.18.0-artix1-1

(info) Problem Reporting Guidelines - Please Read Before Posting an Issue.

When reporting problems, remember that the people that will attempt to help you do not know what Linux distro you are using and that can be very important to know. Painting a picture that includes the distro you are using and a brief description of the problem is important.

If you are installing to a VM, see the note at the end.

Checklist regarding what to include in your report:

The name and version of the Linux distro you are using.
A brief description of the problem.
Paste the screen output provided by the install-driver.sh script.
The information obtained with the below command.

sudo lsusb; rfkill list all; dkms status; iw dev; iw reg get

Note: With the previous version of this driver and with the other Realtek drivers maintained at this site, many of the reported problems have to do with installations in VM's. If you are installing to a VM, and you have a problem, the chances are extremely high that the problem is with the setup in the VM, not this driver. Please investigate the problem first with the maker of the VM. Our time is valuable. Please help us maintain this driver by directing VM problems to the VM makers. I have maintained this driver for a few years and I have yet to see a problem reported for a VM installation that turns out to be a problem with this driver.

Thank you and enjoy

(solved - this driver is for the 8812au chipset and does not support the 8811au chipset) Edimax C600

Hello,

I have an Edimax C600 USB WiFi adapter, which does not exist yet in the device ID list:

ID 7392:a812 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd Edimax AC600 USB

(Only the 7392:a822 version is currently supported.)

Vendor link:
https://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/in/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811uac/

The device has been working well for a long time with the RTL8812AU Aircrack-NG driver (ver. 5.6.4.2). After adding the missing ID to the driver here did I notice that it was constantly randomising its MAC address, which led to the device name being randomised too (i.e. wlx_randomstuff_), making it hard to be used in scripts and hostapd.conf. The Aircrack-NG driver picks up the default hardware MAC address just fine however. I have worked around it by setting the module parameter rtw_initmac to a fixed address. Is there a way to let it pick up the default MAC address automatically the way the Aircrack driver does it?

(info) This repo does not support the 8811au or 8821au chipsets (AC600) - Please Read Before Posting an Issue.

Hello everyone,

As you can see from the numerous reports by people that have adapters based on the 8811au and 8821au chipsets, it seems that it is not clear that this repo does not support those chipsets. Let me try to clear things up:

This repo ONLY supports adapters with the 8812au chipset (AC1200). Period.

You should check in the file supported-device-IDs here before installing this driver unless you are sure your adapter uses a 8812au chipset. If you do not see your device ID in supported-device-IDs then check the same file in the following repo:

https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708

The above repo supports the 8811au and 8821au chipsets (AC600).

I realize this can be somewhat confusing and I do my best to help but the confusion was caused by Realtek. Realtek has unnecessarily released a lot of different USB WiFi chipsets that all require different drivers. Realtek has a long history of doing this type of thing. It is just one more thing that makes using Realtek based adapters a challenge... which is why I recommend buying adapters with Mediatek chipsets:

(solved) bug report: failure with Ubuntu 20 on HP Z230 (again: this repo does not support the 8811au chipset. See: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 )

I've got an HP Z230 desktop which ran an earlier version of this driver under Ubuntu 18 without problems. I upgraded to Ubuntu 20, and now I cannot get the latest driver version to work. I even bought a new dongle, the AWUS036ACS was was claimed to be tested and compatible. The transcript below seems to show that installation worked without problems. I did "sudo bash ./install_driver.sh" and got a success message. I include the other requested output below. The device is showing up with lsusb. I would appreciate any suggestions as to what to try next.

Cannot connect to networks.

**Hello first of all thank you for all your efforts messing around with realteks messy drivers 📦
I'm having some issues with my AWUS036ACH (who doesn't) :P

Sometimes i've been able to put it into monitor mode other times i have not been able to. But the biggest issue for me right now is that i cannot connect to any networks with it? I can see networks so its obviously able to scan but i've never been able to connect with it.**

Any idea if its possible to fix this?
Btw, i'm running the adapter on a virtualbox guest, so i guess that might be why im having these issues.
I mean just look at the txpower, -100 lmfao.

Thanks!

Makefile Error: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) support was turned on in Makefile as planned

Hi Nick,

Moving this to the repo, apologies for the previously misplaced comment!

I've been struggling with your installation script & I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction?

I've been trying to install this driver package but I keep getting the following error. I've been trying to get it to work for a few days now.

Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) support was turned on in Makefile as planned.

I have checked the makefile & toggled the flags for the respective 64 & 32 bit builds. No luck.

I am running:
Linux my-pi 5.10.74-v8+ #1471 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 18 17:11:19 BST 2021 aarch64 GNU/Linux

As far as my experience is concerned, I'd say I am a moderate Linux user, not a noob, but not an expert.

Many thanks
M

(solved) AP stops working: rtl8812_sreset_xmit_status_check tx hang

Hi,

I've watching the following message in the system logs randomly:

"rtl8812_sreset_xmit_status_check tx hang"

When it appears, all stations connected to the AP configured with hostapd can't communicate anymore with it. The only solution is to unload the 8812au driver, load again and restart the hostapd daemon.

I've tested all variations with this hardware:

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: in all USB ports and with an external powered USB hub.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB: in all USB ports (2 and 3) and with an external powered USB hub.
Alfa Network AWUS036ACH (USB C version)
BrosTrend AC3L

Currently using the Raspberry Pi 2, the AWUS036ACH and the USB powered hub. The config and status is shown below:

To sort this problem I've created a systemctl service which watchs for changes in /var/log/syslog and checks the last minute in journalctl to reload the driver and restart the hostapd :-) (and it works... but...)

NIck, thank you so much in advance :-)

how to wpa3 issue #17 not there

hi i still would like to activate wpa3 on my awus036ach i did the steps in the wpa_supplicant txt file but how do i active wpa3 then? the tutorial is not there anymore :S

(info) Status and Performance Report

Greetings

It has been a couple of weeks since this new driver was opened to the public. The number of visitors has steadily increased with 98 hits in one day earlier this week. Testing continues...

Managed mode (aka: client) thoughts

This driver is faster in managed mode than the previous version. Here is the result of an extended session with iperf3:

Bitrate : 455 Mbits/sec Retr : 0

I never saw results like this with the old version. Generally I was lucky to get 400 Mb/s in nearly perfect conditions. I have tested everything I can think of and all I can say at this point is there are no known bugs in managed mode. This driver is fast and very stable.

Master mode (aka: AP) thoughts

DFS channel support is working well. I have been testing with hostapd and a RasPi4B. I have tested many things. This driver has been extremely stable for me. There is a document called Bridged_Wireless_Access_Point.md in the repo and if you are interested in AP mode, it should provide a lot of information. It is possible, with minor modifications to also support Wireless Router and Repeater setups.

Monitor mode thoughts

I have added a document called Monitor_Mode.md that provides help with monitor mode and I have provided a script to start and test monitor mode. The script is called start-mon.sh. This script helps with entering monitor mode and it allows you to change settings in a question and answer manner. It even allows you to scan and test injection functionality among other things. This script is needed because I had to deal with numerous questions about how to do various things with the last version of this driver. There are also some workarounds for issues. The real issue is that Realtek does not follow the "book" in how everything works in monitor mode like the drivers for Mediatek/Ralink and Atheros based adapters do. Anyone that wants to help improve the script should contact me. Help is welcome. Overall, scanning, capture, injection, deauth and everything I thought to test is working well and is stable.

Documentation and installation

With help from others, the documentation and installation has been improved. There is always room for improvement so if anyone wants to help in this area, let me know. There is one thing I need to make clear and that is that not everything can be supported. This driver takes a LOT of work and many OS's are tested and supported, not all of the MANY OS's and various configurations can be supported.

One big NOTE for those that used to use very old versions of the 8812au driver: The very old 8812au drivers had support for the 8811au chipset. That is not the case in this day in time. This driver ONLY supports the 8812au chipset. Not to worry as there is also a new driver for the 8811au (8821au) chipset... but this is not it. This is...

https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708

Thanks for using the driver.

Regards,

Nick

Suggest to add a stable branch

Hi Nick,
I've found that the 'main' branch has some commits day by day, thanks for your effort firstly.
As there are changes day by day, I'm not sure when it's a good chance to update my local driver, so I suggest to add a stable branch, so that if there is a batch of changes you think is completed and stable, then you push to that branch. for end-users like me, then we know it's chance to update our local driver.

ubuntu issues with install script?

Linux smart 5.4.0-91-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 5 16:31:28 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
EFI variables are not supported on this system

Installed using the instructions, with no error messages, but something seems off:

sudo modprobe 8821au
modprobe: FATAL: Module 8821au not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-91-generic

This was done on a new install of Ubuntu server 20.04.

PLEASE ADD

MONITOR MODE Testers needed...

I am not a professional security analyst and could use the help of those who are more familiar with Kali Linux, Parrot, Aircrack-ng, Wireshark and other operating systems and tools that support security analysis to test this driver and report.

One of the complaints over the years has been the stability of the drivers for the 8812au chipset. Well, this driver is VERY VERY stable. Managed and master modes operate without known bugs at this point so I will give priority to working on monitor mode but I need feedback. I need testers.

Regards,

Nick

(solved) Compiled but does not show up in ip a (again: this repo does not support the 8811au chipset. See: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 )

(rtw_country_code) Some feedback on running this driver on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04, 22.04

TLDR: With a caveat, the driver can be considered tested and well-working with the current Ubuntu 22.04.

The long version:

Hi Nick,

I recently updated my desktop to Ubuntu 22.04 (Kernel 5.15). In this version, the crda package is no longer installed by default and got uninstalled with the update. Compare https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1958918 . It seems Gentoo did the same: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462032
So, /etc/default/crda is no longer read and the default region no longer set in this way.

If I am running your driver with the rtw_country_code=DE option, it continues to work great, same as with 18.04 and 20.04 on my laptop.

I observed the following:
I have a Zyxel router rented from my internet service provider that broadcasts an 802.11g-network on channel 13 and an 802.11n-network on channel 132+136. Also, I have temporarily set up a Netgear router (running openWRT) that broadcasts an 802.11n-network on channel 1 that I set up to use the region ruleset for the US.

My rudimentary understanding of the set wireless region I can read out via iw reg get on my ubuntu clients is this:
When I am not connected to any wireless network at all, the region is 00 (or whatever I set before using sudo iw reg set). When I connect to my network on channel 13, it stays there. If I connect to the network on channel 1, it switches to US. If I disconnect the connection, it goes back to 00. If I connect it to the network on channel 132, it changes to DE. This works both with the 8812au USB adapter and with the build-in Centrino wireless-N 105.
So, the basic idea in Ubuntu seems to be that an Ubuntu wireless client gets its region setting from the AP, if the latter is configured correctly (I can't get the network on channel 13 to broadcast the DE information). If the network connection is severed, the set region of the Ubuntu client goes back to the state it was in before. So, either 00 or anything that was set via sudo iw reg set (let it be CA, JP, ...). The output of iwlist chan and iw list changes accordingly with the output from iw reg get.

Now, the interesting bit (replicated on both laptop and desktop):
If I connect to the network on channel 1 (the one that gets the client to the US setting) using my trusty Alfa AWUS036ACM USB adapter (or the build-in interface, either Centrino wireless-n 105 or Realtek BCM4312 running with the b43 driver on ubuntu 18.04 kernel 5.4), I can no longer connect to the network on channel 13 with the other wifi adapter. This seems ok to me as the region on the client got set to US, thus inhibiting the wireless interfaces from sending radio signals on channel 12 and 13. If I connect to the network on channel 13 first, I can make a second connection with the other wifi adapter to the network on Channel 1.

My USB adapter with the 8812 chipset will connect to the network on channel 13 anytime (if the driver was loaded with the rtw_country_code=DE option), regardless of the output of iw reg get. This is sensible. If I reload it without that option using sudo modprobe -r 8812au & sudo modprobe 8812au , the output from iwlist chan is

wlxdc4ef405e467  17 channels in total; available frequencies :
          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
          Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
          Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
          Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
          Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
          Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
          Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
          Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz
          Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz
          Channel 36 : 5.18 GHz
          Channel 40 : 5.2 GHz
          Channel 44 : 5.22 GHz
          Channel 48 : 5.24 GHz

and it is indifferent to the output of iw reg get. With the three other wifi adapters, the output of iwlist chan and iw list changes with the output of iw reg get.

My conclusion:
Your driver on my Ubuntu systems is indifferent to the wifi region set via iw. It will albeit and reliably use the region set that it receives via the option rtw_country_code=__ when the driver gets loaded by the OS.
With this caveat, the driver can be considered tested and well-working with the current Ubuntu 22.04.

Let me know if I can test anything for you.
Regards!

Speed is not seen

(solved) Driver appears to install correctly but is not functional in network manager, and doesn't show up with lsmod (again: this repo does not support the 8811au chipset. See: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 )

Followed the easy install instructions, the module appears to be functional but Wifi isn't working. I checked lsmod output, but it doesn't show the module.

Include New Device

Dear all,

I would like to request the following device to be included:

2357:0120
TP-Link 802.11ac WLAN Adapter

TP Link Archer T2U Plus

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

No ping on 2.4 GHz channels while 5 GHz works!

Hi,

I am trying this driver, after the previous one let me down: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.

I have a RaspberryPi which has 5.4.0-1044-raspi Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and Asus ac56 WiFi dongle with RTL8812AU chipset.
I have static ip on the wlan interface: 10.0.0.8

When I set the WiFi network to any channel on the 2.4GHz band, like channel 4, RPI connects to it but I cannot ping the devices on the other side.

If I change the channel to any on the 5GHz band, the ping works. I do not change anything except the channel number on my WiFi access point.

Other devices like my phone or laptop can connect to the 2.4GHz network and I have ping. But RPi does not work.
Could you please help me if you have any clue?

These are the logs and commands (mokutil --sb-state does not work and says EFI variables are not supported on this system):
