Greetings to anyone that reads this message.
This Issue is where we coordinate and take bug reports for the new 8812au in-kernel driver.
An effort is underway to add support for the rtl8812au chipset to the rtw88 in-kernel driver series. The driver is available for testing at the following repo:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88
Remember to first remove the out-of-kernel driver in this repo or whatever repo you may have installed. You can run the following to remove it if using this repo:
$ sudo sh remove-driver.sh
It is important to follow the instructions in the README at the repo with the new test driver. You may not be familiar with rtw88 in the kernel but even if you are, there are some necessary mods that you need to know about. The rtw88 that has this new driver is more advanced than the rtw88 in stable kernels as it follows wireless-next and is used to work on and develop new drivers.
We welcome you to test and report on this new driver. Your testing will help us get this new driver in the Linux kernel sooner and in better shape. If you are aware of anyone who is familiar with mac80211 drivers, please invite them as more eyes on the code is a good thing. Your ideas are most welcome. We can do this.
