for those of you who are trying to install the driver for RTL8811AU adapter and every drivers available on the network doesn’t work, i have a solution!

Before to start, I want emphasize that this is a temporary and rudimentary solution, please note that this solution will get your Wi-Fi working but may be some bugs along the way. Therefore I recommend to see other solution first, then if they don’t work, come here!

1. search for driver rtl8812au and install exactly this driver; no other, it must be rtl8812au

2. cd rtl8812au to enter in the directory

3. make to runs the script to install the driver

4. you will probably see a lot of warnings and at the end there should be an error:

   /home/user/rtl8812au/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.o
   /home/user/rtl8812au/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c:274:17: error: ‘struct usb_driver’ has no member named ‘drvwrap’
     274 |         .usbdrv.drvwrap.driver.shutdown = rtw_dev_shutdown,
         |                 ^~~~~~~
   

   you are in the right way, even if it doesn’t seem so

5. you need to open that file, on line 274 just comment out that error, it should be inside an if statement:

   // .usbdrv.drvwrap.driver.shutdown = rtw_dev_shutdown;
   

   once you’ve done that, save the file.

6. go back in the rtl8812au directory and run again make

7. at the end, you should see something like this:

   /home/user/rtl8812au/88XXau.o: warning: objtool: rtw_mp_cmd+0xfe: unannotated intra-function call
     MODPOST /home/user/rtl8812au/Module.symvers

     LD [M]  /home/user/rtl8812au/88XXau.ko
     BTF [M] /home/user/rtl8812au/88XXau.ko
   Skipping BTF generation for /home/user/rtl8812au/88XXau.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Visit https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au for support/reporting issues
   or check for newer versions (branches) of these drivers.                   
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
   

   this means that the modules have been created. if you prompt: ls , you should be able to see .ko files

8. now you have just copy it to the kernel modules, yeah this is the rudimentary part. Run:
   sudo cp /home/user/rtl8812au/88XXau.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

9. run this to refresh the modules:
   sudo depmod -a

10. run this to test:
    sudo modprobe 88XXau

    if you don’t see nothing, it worked, otherwise you’ve made some mistake

final step is to reboot.

the bugs that i encountered are:

• turning off the wi-fi will disable the connection for the whole session, so just reboot.

• turn off the wi-fi will probably cause some problems at the shut down, it will take a lot of times to shut down
  but it will, be patient, otherwise click the turn off button

• sometimes switching networks will cause some errors and you won’t be able to use the Wi-Fi for the session, so reboot

if you encounter in other errors or if you find another solution let me know!
