## This repository was a combination of multiple projects what i found found on the Internet ## This driver only supports 8812au chipset at the moment. ### DKMS This driver can be installed using [DKMS]. This is a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated. To make use of DKMS, install the `dkms` package, which on Debian (based) systems is done like this: ``` sudo apt-get install dkms ``` ### Installation of Driver In order to install the driver open a terminal in the directory with the source code and execute the following command: ``` sudo ./dkms-install.sh ``` ### Removal of Driver In order to remove the driver from your system open a terminal in the directory with the source code and execute the following command: ``` sudo ./dkms-remove.sh ``` ### Make For building & installing the driver with 'make' use ``` make make install ``` ### Misc For working 80Mhz channels in hostapd, you need load module with parameter: ``` options 88XXau rtw_vht_enable=2 ``` For setting monitor mode 1. Fix problematic interference in monitor mode. ``` airmon-ng check kill ``` You may also uncheck the box "Automatically connect to this network when it is avaiable" in nm-connection-editor. This only works if you have a saved wifi connection. 2. Set interface down ``` sudo ip link set wlan0 down ``` 3. Set monitor mode ``` sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor ``` 4. Set interface up ``` sudo ip link set wlan0 up ``` For setting TX power ``` sudo iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000 ``` ### LED control #### You can now control LED behaviour statically by Makefile, for example: ```sh CONFIG_LED_ENABLE = n ``` value can be y or n #### statically by module parameter in /etc/modprobe.d/8812au.conf or wherever, for example: ```sh options 88XXau rtw_led_enable=0 ``` value can be 0 or 1 #### or dynamically by writing to /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable, for example: ```sh $ echo "0" > /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable ``` value can be 0 or 1 #### check current value: ```sh $ cat /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable ``` ### NetworkManager Newer versions of NetworkManager switches to random MAC address. Some users would prefer to use a fixed address. Simply add these lines below ``` [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no ``` at the end of file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and restart NetworkManager with the command: ``` sudo service NetworkManager restart ```
