Hello,
I'm creating this issue in case others run into this problem, but also I'm curious if anyone has an explanation/suggestion on how to proceed.

I have successfully compiled the driver (versions 5.4.1 and 5.8.1) on an RPi 3 (Buster 5.4.51). When I connect an EDUP EP-AC1661 there is an error shown in dmesg, and it does not work.

dmesg output:

[40760.392590] RTW: ERROR please program efuse or specify correct RFE type.
[40760.392593] RTW: ERROR cmd: insmod rtl8821cx.ko rtw_RFE_type=<rfe_type>

The error appears to come from this line:

rtl8821CU/hal/rtl8821c/rtl8821c_ops.c

Line 410 in 45a8b43

RTW_ERR("\n\nEmpty EFUSE with unknown REF type!!\n\n");

The lines right after the error suggests manually providing a value for rtw_RFE_type when loading the module. Based on rtl8821c_ops.c there appear to be 8 options:

		Type 0 - (2-Ant, DPDT), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 1 - (1-Ant, SPDT@Ant1), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 2 -(1-Ant, SPDT@Ant1) , (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 3 - (1-Ant, DPDT@Ant2), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 4 - (1-Ant, DPDT@Ant2), (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 5 - (2-Ant), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 6 - (2-Ant), (2G_WLG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
		Type 7 - (1-Ant), (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)

If I unload the module (sudo rmmod 8821cu.ko) and then re-load it specifying any one of the above types, it seems to work fine:
sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8821cu/8821cu.ko rtw_RFE_type=7

The wifi works just as well if I put rtw_RFE_type=0 or rtw_RFE_type=1, etc.

Digging a bit deeper, it appears that the RFE Type is used to determine antenna isolation and the BT coexistence mechanism. Is there a way to know which is correct for my wifi dongle, or which is optimal in any given situation?

Update: I bought a second EDUP EP-AC1661 just to see what would happen. Turns out that the EFUSE is a bit different in this one, and a valid rfe_type can be read (it's located at 0xCA in the EFUSE, per EEPROM_RFE_OPTION_8821C).

Full EFUSE of a valid chip:

RTW: 0x1F0: FF FF FF FF  FF FF FF FF  FF FF FF FF  FF FF FF FF

thus rfe_type: 0x26 (38 decimal).

Some other random debug output:

RTW: EEPROM rfe_type=0x26
RTW: EEPROM PAType_2G is 0x0, ExternalPA_2G = 0
RTW: EEPROM PAType_5G is 0x0, external_pa_5g = 0
RTW: EEPROM LNAType_2G is 0x0, ExternalLNA_2G = 0
RTW: EEPROM LNAType_5G is 0x0, external_lna_5g = 0
RTW: EEPROM TypeGPA = 0x0
RTW: EEPROM TypeAPA = 0x0
RTW: EEPROM TypeGLNA = 0x0
RTW: EEPROM TypeALNA = 0x0

[speculation]
A bit more digging and it appears that this value is assigned to rfe_type_expand in phydm.c, and then referenced in phydm+hal_api8821c.c, where a value of 0x26 indicates that the switch (that controls whether the antenna is being used for wifi or BT?) does not exist. Furthermore, rfe_type_expand is shifted right 3 to get rfe_type, and 0x26 shifted right 3 is 4. That corresponds to the Type 4 option listed above... so that's my guess as to what type this module is ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Type 4 - (1-Ant, DPDT@Ant2), (2G_BTG, iPA, iLNA, iSW), (5G, iPA, iLNA, iSW)
[/speculation]

If I wanted to continue using the errant dongle, I'd use the following code to load the driver (though I still don't think it makes much of a difference what rtw_RFE_type value is provided, as long as it's hex):

sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8821cu/8821cu.ko rtw_RFE_type=0x26

... but it's broken, so I'm sending it back.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk.

Hi, I just got the exact adapter today (EDUP EP-AC1661) and I can't get it to work. I'm just a regular user, not a coder of sorts, and I don't understand a thing you said above :)

So my question is: Will the adapter not work? Is that a conclusion after trying two of them?

I'm on Linux Mint 19.3. I made a post on the Mint forums about it if you want to check it out.

Because I would return this too if it won't work.

Thanks.

@firepainting the first adapter I bought did not work out of the box - and I decided to send it back - due to a problem with the contents of the EFUSE. I could have made it work by manually specifying the rtw_RFE_type when loading the driver.

The second adapter I purchased worked fine with this driver, without any changes or needing to manually load the driver.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

If I understand it, two adapters of this exact model could be "different" that one might work and the other might not (out of the box), with this driver. I guess I should talk to the vendor, then.

I'm on a brand new Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.3 (Ootpa), kernel 4.18.0-240.el8.x86_64 and tried what you suggested:

echo "options 8821cu rtw_RFE_type=0x26" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8821cu.conf

To no avail. This is what happens:
