Hi @anilsathyan7

I have more or less discontinued maintaining this repo as better, modern options are available. Starting with kernel 6.14, a fully modern, mac80211 driver is in the Linux kernel. If using an older kernel, I recommend:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

That is where we wrote the new driver that is in the kernel.

Remember to remove the driver in this repo:

sudo sh remove-driver.sh
