driver not working with kernel 4.19 lts #154

SolZer · 2018-10-26T14:44:12Z

upgraded from 4.18 to 4.19, and wifi adapter is no longer recognized

ekeyser · 2018-10-26T14:59:47Z

Hi Solzer, did you recompile the driver? When kernel upgrades occur the driver modules are not copied over to the new kernel. Usually a make; sudo make install (and then reboot or insmod) should correct this. Just checking.

kimocoder · 2018-10-26T15:01:54Z

Kernel v4.19 will need a patch to her supported. Take a look in "gordboy" repo

jasontm7 · 2018-11-21T20:35:31Z

Hi ekeyser,
I know this thread is getting a little old but I had the same issue when Fedora upgraded to 4.19 kernel. My particular issue was a duplicate #define error in ./include/wifi.h: Line 980: #define IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_BUF 0x40 which was also defined elsewhere as #define IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_BUF 0x100.
So I commented out this #define in wifi.h and let it compile: /#define IEEE80211_MAX_AMPDU_BUF 0x40/
This worked for me. Can't guarantee it'll work for everyone but it's something to try if nothing else works and it's easy. I know there's probably a reason to make this particular buffer smaller but it maxes out my internet speed and works after reboots so I don't care :-)

If only someone would upstream the patches from: https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au

I guess I have the same problem.

Compare Makefile and os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c between gnab and gordboy versions.

In the Makefile there are a few extra flags that differ. My guess is that this is irrelevant but I changed them anyway so that both files match.

In os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c search for rtw_select_queue. There are three occurrences. The last two are identical at the time of this writing. The first is within a series of if statements. The gordboy version has an extra one for kernel 4.19.

Replace the gnab chunk with the gordboy version and you are done: it compiles and works.

Tested with liquorix 4.19 on Bodhi 5 (Ubuntu 18.04).

Same problem now --

Kali Linux, uname -a -> Linux [redacted] 4.19.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.13-1kali1 (2019-01-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Exact same error as @chovy when trying to make the driver. It may be worth noting that the guide I followed suggested an apt install linux-headers-generic before even cloning this repo, and on Kali, I cannot find that package.

ralyodio · 2019-01-24T04:27:38Z

There’s an app called uuuk or something like that. It allows you to easily install newer kernels. That worked for me. - Anthony

Yesterday I did a system upgrade and Liquorix 4.20 was installed. The module was build automatically via DKMS. This means that the simple hack described above works for versions 4.19 and 4.20.

ralyodio · 2019-01-24T16:43:05Z

The fix went live in 4.19+ so you don't need to do any hacks.

I've had no luck installing via DKMS or the gordboy repo, but what I was able to do was use the CD drive that came with the dongle to install the Bluetooth driver, and the WiFi driver via https://github.com/lwfinger/8723bu. If anyone's interested I can post the code from the CD drive.

ralyodio · 2019-01-24T21:02:37Z

I'm sorry I misled you. I thought this was about sound drivers for my laptop, not the wifi card. I don't know how to get it to work.

mirix · 2019-01-24T22:59:05Z

Misha, the gordboy code doesn't work for me either. What works is hacking a couple of files from this repo as explained above.

mirix · 2019-02-01T15:53:09Z

No need to touch the Makefile. Just replace os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c with the attached file (change extension from .txt to .c) and your are good to go.

os_intfs.txt

Hi guys, the aircrack-ng/rtl8812au drivers work for me. I have tested driver v5.3.4 against kernel 4.19.19. It works out of the box (DKMS method), the repo seems to be actively maintained, it wraps all the commands in convenient install/uninstall scripts, it is supposed to work with kernels 4.20 and 5.0, and it contains more recent versions of the drivers (not the most recent, though).

ralyodio · 2019-02-05T20:32:45Z

It has been a long time since I used Ubuntu, however the steps to try are: git clone https://github.com/AstroDrabb/rtl8812au sudo mkdir -p /usr/src # might already exist sudo cp -r rtl8812au /usr/src sudo dkms add -m rtl8812au -v 4.2.2 --all sudo dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 4.2.2 -k $(uname -r) sudo dkms install -m rtl8812au -v 4.2.2 -k $(uname -r) the driver should now be installed. Network Manager should give you a notice. If not, reboot and go in to Network Manager and look for you USB adapter and configure it. Let me know if you need any more help.

RTL8188EUS is not in the 8812AU family. You need a driver made for your chipset. If you google for ' github RTL8188EUS ' you will bring up several repos for 8188EUS drivers.
