Only supports 8812AU chipset.

Works fine with 4.20-rc2 kernel. Source now builds with no warnings or errors.

Greatly improved stability due to huge rewrite of phydm - "4 second glitch" seems to have been fixed, or at least vastly reduced, in driver version 5.2.20.2.

Added (cosmeticly edited) original Realtek_Changelog.txt, this README.md and dkms.conf.

Added device USB IDs, sorted by ID number. Added LED control by Makefile, module parameter and dynamic /proc writing. Added VHT extras. Added regdb files.

To build and install module manually:

$ make
$ sudo make install

To use dkms install:

  (as root, or sudo) copy source folder contents to /usr/src/rtl8812au-5.2.20

$ sudo dkms add -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20
$ sudo dkms build -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20
$ sudo dkms install -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20

To use dkms uninstall and remove:

$ sudo dkms remove -m rtl8812au -v 5.2.20 --all

Thanks to @dkadioglu and others for a start on this.

As others have noted, people using NetworkManager need to add this stanza to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
