gordboy / rtl8812au-5.9.3.2 Goto Github PK

I'm running Arch Linux and after an update my Wi-Fi dongle that uses the rtl8812au driver (installed from the AUR) doesn't work anymore, so I tried to update all of my kernel modules with sudo dkms autoinstall and it didn't work. You can read the log file here.

Hi,

Again an error on kernel-update, to 5.12. Below the error-report.

Tia for any suggestions on this.

Hello, I am using TP-link AC600 Archer T2Uv3 (2357:011f) with the driver version 5.6.4.2 from aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

After removing v5.6 and installing this one (5.9.3.2), the driver does not load automatically. If loaded with modprobe it does nothing.
I have tried all combinations of installing/uninstalling both versions, the only one that loads for my USB dongle is 5.6.

I appreciate the work you guys put into this software. Unfortunately, I have an issue with this driver. I am running the newest ubuntu
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal
and the installation process runs through
> sudo make install
install -p -m 644 8812au.ko /lib/modules/5.8.0-38-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
/sbin/depmod -a 5.8.0-38-generic
I an also sudo modprobe 8812au but I read in kern.log

Jan 16 19:13:22 linux kernel: [ 1576.456187] 8812au: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

Also, if I use iwconfig no wireless shows. I am using an DWA 172,
lsusb Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2001:3318 D-Link Corp.

Do you happen to have an idea what is wrong here?

this is the error message i get.

^ I know I must be missing something real simple, any help would be really appreciated.
Also here's the output of running "dkms status"

Hi,

I have an issue with specific device 7392:a812 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd Edimax AC600 USB. Firstly noticed on my router which is running Gentoo linux and there I have already running for two months the 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter. I plugged the Edimax one and it refused to be brought up. So I plugged in my debian laptop cloned the repo fresh and installed the module with same results. Is there anything else which I would be able to try to find the issue?

I have attached
rtl8812au_edimax_issue_01.txt
detailed info. Basically it boils down to this

Wireless adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CCMUN8C this exact model plugged into USB 2.0 (I believe) port (I can double-check if this is relevant.)

Install:
Followed instructions in readme to build via dkms.

Wireless provider:
Comcast, default settings, running on 5GHZ channel.

Symptoms:
Turn on wifi adapter, available networks come up ok, attempting to connect to the network takes forever, and it starts off with a little question mark in the wifi icon as it can't reach the internet or something, throughout connection I can see in the wifi list it goes from full to nothing and back again at random which leads to some bad experiences, but while it is connected I'm able to do everything I normally would be able to and one time I managed to get a speed test in and it clocked at around 100mbp/s so no issues there except for the very intermittent connection, it was a fluke that I got that in. Shortly thereafter it gives a system notification that activation of wireless connection failed and kicks me off, generally the first time I'm on wifi for a pretty decent time until it kicks me off and then it gets faster and faster after that if I'm able to reconnect in the first place. If I'm reading the wifi logs correctly it's giving error code 6.

Other os:
On the same exact machine on Windows, this adapter performs beautifully.

Also if it helps:
This is the lsusb output for it: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Realtek 8812AU/8821AU 802.11ac WLAN Adapter [USB Wireless Dual-Band Adapter 2.4/5Ghz]
However the realtek chipset appears different in windows, not sure if perhaps this is the issue?
I also have all power management settings on the wifi adapter disabled.

Update:
I've actually had a pretty good run recently. Had a little bit of trouble getting off the ground with some weird New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated messages and at one point a Set ESSID:"+\x8C\xB6\x87\x1Bd\xF5a\xAB\x1C\xE7\x90[\x90\x1E\xE5\x02\xA8\x11wM\xCD\xE1;\x87`t\x8Av\xDBt\xA1" came up. Finally it latched on and was strong, reported 150mb/s with weird pauses where internet my music would pause and I wouldn't be able to load any new websites or random super slow loading despite it still showing full bars where it normally dropped off. Only output from it during this time was Scan request completed (I had wifi settings open along with the list of visible networks which was triggering constant rescans) Eventually it did fail, not sure if this had anything to do with it but the moment I went to a different tab than the wifi tab in settings it failed with the familiar wireless activation failed message. This was what was logged:

18:46:47.737600   enxe84e066ccaa6 New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated

(Logs were achieved via: iwevent)

Is this still an issue? I've been using Linux since long before WiFi existed and have never run across a problem that was solved by this so any background would be appreciated. I've googled it but as best I can make out this was a temp issue caused by a specific bug that has long since been fixed and should not be a problem in distros released this year. Maybe I am wrong.

gordboy,

Have you had time to test much? Here are my thoughts so far:

• Very clean install once we patched that one compiler complaint.
• It is nice to have code that is patched all the through 5.8 by Realtek.
• I've tested and show a performance pickup vs previous versions.
• dmesg is clean.

Best code release I've ever seen from Realtek.

Hi gordboy,

I just installed your driver on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works fine. Thanks a lot!

But, my router has DFS - Dynamic Frequency Search.
Therefore it uses the 5 GHz channels above 48 (52-140).
The rtl8812au is able, too, to use this channels.
Are you planning to add them?

PS: Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker.

gordboy,

Would you mind sharing how you search the code for non-Unix line endings?

Currently testing kernel 5.10-rc5 and it breaks the build with errors relating to get_fs, set_fs and friends in

os_dep/osdep_service.c
os_dep/linux/os_intfs.c
core/rtw_wlan_util.c
core/rtw_btcoex.c

Turns out this is a known thing in KernelLand and they wanted to get rid of it for ages, and finally actually did it, for some architectures at least.

http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/2010.3/00552.html
https://lwn.net/Articles/832121/
https://lwn.net/Articles/722267/

In the Realtek code, the main use goes something like this -

oldfs = get_fs();      // Save old boundary
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);     // Set new boundary
STUFF;                 // Some sort of read, copy or move
set_fs(oldfs);         // Restore old boundary

I will look at this over the next while and try to figure out a clean, minimal fix.

Hi, gordboy.

Thanks a lot for your project.

I have a strange issue with my Thinkpad X200:
the signal strength of my USB rtl8812au is several dbs weaker than the internal Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN card.

II am using LinSSID to check the signal strength. As you may see, the strength went down after about 55 seconds, while I changed the interface from internal WiFi card to USB card.

My environment list below:

• dkms status
  rtl8812au, 5.9.3.2, 5.8.0-59-generic, x86_64: built

• kernel
  Linux Home-Ubuntu 5.8.0-59-generic #66~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks again

I just refer the other ticket/branch aircrack-ng/rtl8812au#803 ... as the error is that one... (I'm having it on Manjaro)

I don't get the driver up and running, any help would be nice.

Hi @gordboy,

It is not an issue ticket but rather a question:
Where did you get the source code of the driver?
On the realtek website I only found a quite outdated windows driver.

Hello, I have RTL8812AE instead of 8812AU. The driver works on my pci adapter with pop os 20.04 and 20.10? thanks
Have a nice day!

can you take a look ? on my x86 Odroid H2 your module compiles fine, but the cubietruck fails.

There are no errors in dmesg, but the connection will stop working. pinging the gateway will show host not reachable but otherwise the interface seems up. restarting systemd-networkd or iwd does not appear to be able to fix the issue (the interface will just keep trying to go UP and fail). Unplug and re-plug the adapter fixes the issue.

kernel is 5.13.9-arch1-1 using the AUR git package. adapter is as follows
Bus 005 Device 036: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter

Unfortunately this driver stopped working properly under 5.12

This is the message I am getting

Hi,
I have an Edimax Wi-Fi AC600 Adapter (7392:b611), which I could use with rtl8812au-5.4.6.2 up until Linux 5.10.3 on Endeavour OS. (I only needed to replace a811 with b611 in usb_intf.c) By now the kernel was upgraded to said 5.10.4-arch2-1, but still the wifi adapter is not working.

For some reason it stopped working at this point and even upgrading to rtl8812au-5.9.3.2 didn't help. At the same time, the LTS kernel of Endeavour OS was updated to 5.4.86-1-lts and here both versions don't work anymore as well.

How could I narrrow down the problem? I browsed through journalctl but didn't find anything that I would consider connected to this problem (which doesn't mean much)
Could you point me in the right direction?

Hi i try to Compile on Ubuntu 18.04 with Kernel 5.11, but didn't work.

Tried on Ubuntu 20.04 and on Debian 10, it just doesn't work... It's as if i never installed the drivers in the first place...
https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2 works though.
