morrownr / 8812au Goto Github PK

I'm stuck at this, tried a lot of things from all over Google to no avail. Searching manually with ls command on the directory clearly shows theres a file called dkms.conf, so maybe DKMS is looking into the wrong directory for the file..? I've even tried to download the driver into the root directory and install from there, but it still gives the same error.

System: Ubuntu 18.04 / 5.4.80-hiveos

What Iam I doing wrong? I run on 2021-01-11-raspios-buster-armhf-lite, RPi 4B

Thx

Injection fully working on 2.4ghz, 5 ghz it is not effective at all.

I am currently testing this driver with hostapd. With the proper driver settings and hostapd.conf settings, I have found that this driver and a good rtl8812au adapter make for a very good Access Point. All capabilities, including n and ac are supported, including channels widths up to 80.

I plan to make a guide available here soon. If anyone wants to start testing now, let me know and I will post a short version of the guide here. I will eventually make the details available in the main documentation.

Nick

Please see README for a link to the proper repo.

Regards

sometime this week, yesterday I believe, you must have changed something that makes my device get 42949572.96dBm with iw dev on managed mode. Fresh install from this branch and it goes like that (I use your repo a lot so I noticed it)

anyone else?

Hi,
Is AP/VLAN mode supported by this driver? It's difficult to find out because not many people use that feature.
Thanks

I have Mint 20.1 with the 5.4.0-72 kernel and in the current version 5.9.3.2 it is not possible to set the 4addr at on: RTNETLINK answers: command failed: Operation not supported (-95).

Hello

I would be very interested to be able to get the original Realtek 5.9.3.2 driver, as the last one I was able to get from FTP was 5.6.4.2. The FTP credentials I have are no longer working.

My repo is starting to show signs of wear and tear, and it would be good to rebase to a newer version.

My 5.6.4.2 repo

https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2

kali kernel:Linux kali 5.9.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.9.1-1kali2 (2020-10-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

set usb3.0

The result after restarting the virtual machine

To set high power, I used the following command

sudo iw reg set US

sudo ip link set wlan0 down

iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000

sudo ip link set wlan0 up

Return result

I don't understand where is the problem? Can you help me?

thanks

I opened an issue on my own repo with some thoughts on the kernel 5.10 breakage.

gordboy/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2#1

If you have any thoughts on this, feel free to share.

The setup is loosely based as documented in B.A.T.M.A.N Advanced Quick start

Hardware:
Alfa AWUS036ACH (have some other realtek devices which i will test - waiting for an MT7612U device) on Raspberry Pi 4.

Software:
Centos 8, not the very latest patches in the Realtek rt8812au driver - will try them tomorrow but expect no difference.

Setup script:

#!/bin/bash 
#
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
   echo "$0: <wlan_interface> <bat_mesh_name>"
   exit 1
fi
# based on the open-mesh batman Quick Start Guide
# 
# setup eth0
sudo modprobe batman-adv
sudo yum install avahi-autoipd -y
sudo batctl if add eth0
sudo atctl if
# setup $1
# cannot remove and read interface as IBSS - can change it though....
sudo iw dev $1 set type ibss
sudo ip link set up mtu 1532 dev $1
sudo iw dev $1 ibss join $2 5785 HT20 fixed-freq
sudo batctl if add $1
sudo ip link set up dev bat0
sudo avahi-autoipd bat0 &
batctl if

When I run this script on two identically configured Pi's, the following happens:

I looked at the source code, it is in where it makes a decision about the packet type - and this type isn't being handled.
rtw_dfs_rd_en_decision()

it falls through to the default: case in the switch statement (it would have been nice if Realtek would have told the switch value there too - but they used just a simple macro instead of WARN_ON(flag,format...)

Don't know whether this can / should be fixed. I'll try to get a bit more data tomorrow.

This git is by far the best driver I found, fixed deauths - thank-you

Hi there,

I used your instructions to install hostapd on ubuntu 18.04 installed on an old PC. I uninstalled network-manger, and installed dhcpcd5. Everything else was based on your instructions. The problem is the PC (server) itself has internet access, but the WiFi clients do not. They are able to connect but they do not get IP address.

Can it work on 5.10.0?

Hello,
updated Kali x86 to latest version today:
Linux a 5.10.0-kali6-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 5.10.26-1kali2 (2021-04-01) i686 GNU/Linux
In previous versions the driver worked very well with no issues.
But in this version airodump-ng does not filter by channel and even it does not find any ap from time to time.
Using default options with a usb 3.0 device powered in a usb 2.0 port.
Attached dmesg output shows errors. They repeat in a loop.
