Current Status: released to the public on 2024-03-20

Progress Log:

  • uploaded original code - supports kernel 5.11 and earlier
  • added support for kernel 5.12
  • added support for kernel 5.15
  • added support for kernel 5.17
  • added support for kernel 5.19.2
  • added support for kernel 6.0
  • added support for kernel 6.1
  • added support for kernel 6.1.39
  • update Makefile
  • fixed support for kernel 6.1 (clean compile on kernel 6.1)
  • added support for kernel 6.3
  • added support for kernel 6.5 (clean compile on kernel 6.5)
  • added support for kernel 6.7
  • added supporting scripts and docs
  • updated VID/PID information
  • deactivated monitor mode
  • fixed problem in scripts related to added but not installed dkms installation
  • added support for kernel 6.8. (tested good on rc3 on 2024-02-06)
  • added support for reproducible builds
  • added LED Control
  • fixed Network Namespace (CONFIG_NET_NS) support - NETNS
  • increased AP mode client limit from 32 to 64 (IoT can create a need to support many clients)
  • fixed build problem in scripts
  • updated documentation
  • removed executable bit from source files (this can cause problems)
  • updated concurrent mode documentation
  • checked and sorted VID/PIDs
  • fixed UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds (5)
  • released to the public on 2024-03-20
  • added support for kernel 6.9.

To-Do List:

-fix possible latency problem

Managed mode performance results: (2023-01-08) below:

iperf Done.

I welcome those with the knowledge to improve this driver to do so. While I do not support monitor mode on this driver, if skilled programmers would like to take on that job, I would welcome this to happen. There are many Linux users with adapters based on the rtl8812au chipset and I would like to see support continue for many years. Ultimately I would like to see a modern mac80211 driver for this chipset and I think that can happen at some point but hopefully we can work together to maintain this driver until a modern driver is available.

Regards,
