(info) 8812bu ok - worked. #155
Comments
You are welcome. It is unfortunate that the out-of-kernel driver from Realtek can be a challenge. I have tried to make it as easy as possible to install and update but there is only so much I can do. The goods news is that the Linux kernel now has an in-kernel, standards-compliant driver so at the point that you are using kernel 6.3 or later, you can remove this driver and your adapter should become less of a challenge to deal with. Let me know if you have any questions. |
@morrownr so in kernel 6.3 and newer support for 88x2bu is stable enough and can be used without installing this out-of-kernel driver from this Github repo ? Do you know also if AP support for this chipset is implemented in kernel 6.3 and running fine ? Thank you |
This is true. I have been testing managed mode with kernels 6.3 and 6.4. The driver is to the point that it is working well in managed mode. Currently the in-kernel driver is not quite as fast as this driver but the difference is not big. I'd say that by the next LTS version of the kernel, the in-kernel driver with be in really good shape. I see this as a good thing as I only have a certain amount of time to work on this site and if I can retire this driver at some point, it will allow me to concentrate on other things.
So far I have only had time to test managed mode and it works well and is stable. It is on my to-do list to test AP and monitors modes. The driver says it supports AP mode. I'll bet that it does but do not know if there are any problems. I can set up to test but tell me what hardware and software you plan to use. If you go to menu item 9 at the following link, which the site Main Menu, you can see my AP guide, which contains a lot of information: |
Hi @morrownr Right now I'm using the driver from this repository and I have an TP-Link Archer T3U Plus which I use it in AP mode. I had some problems with this driver since very often the SSID was disappearing and every time I needed to re-plug the device into the USB port and restart hostapd. Recently I found some information about this problem on another issue reported for this 88x2bu driver which recommended to disable power saving. So far in the last few days the connection seems stable. |
I have xubuntu 22.04 jammy. I had many problems to install. I follow the steps again and now works fine. Than you very much.
