What happened?

Hello, the connection to the USB stick keeps dropping, and scanning the Wi-Fi network is therefore not possible.

From the very top of the README:

Notice: An updated standards compliant (mac80211), in-kernel driver for rtl8812au chipset based adapters and modules is available and as of kernel 6.14 is of good quality. If your distro uses kernel 6.14 or later, there is no need to install this driver. The in-kernel driver is part of the rtw88 series of drivers. The in-kernel driver is Linux Standards compliant (mac80211) and is a much better driver than this one. This driver will no longer get API related updates beyond kernel 6.14 (unless provided by a user). If you use a kernel prior to 6.14, it is possible to use the new standards compliant driver by going to the following repo:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

If you decide to use the in-kernel driver, remember to first remove the driver in this repo. You can run the following to remove the driver in this repo:

$ sudo sh remove-driver.sh

It has been my pleasure to maintain this driver for the last several years. Thanks to all of those who helped.

Remember: Ask not what your operating system can do for you, but what you can do for your operating system.

Regards,

@morrownr
