This driver can be installed using [DKMS]. This is a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated. To make use of DKMS, install the dkms package, which on Debian (based) systems is done like this:
sudo apt install dkms
In order to install the driver open a terminal in the directory with the source code and execute the following command:
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
In order to remove the driver from your system open a terminal in the directory with the source code and execute the following command:
sudo ./dkms-remove.sh
For building & installing the RTL8812AU driver with 'make' use
make
make install
and for building & installing the RTL8814AU driver with 'make' use
make RTL8814=1
make install RTL8814=1
Download
git clone -b v5.1.5 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl*
Package / Build dependencies (Kali)
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install bc
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
For Raspberry (RPI)
sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
For setting monitor mode
- Fix problematic interference in monitor mode.
airmon-ng check kill
You may also uncheck the box "Automatically connect to this network when it is avaiable" in nm-connection-editor. This only works if you have a saved wifi connection.
- Set interface down
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
- Set monitor mode
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
- Set interface up
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
For setting TX power
sudo iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000
Newer versions of NetworkManager switches to random MAC address. Some users would prefer to use a fixed address. Simply add these lines below
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
at the end of file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and restart NetworkManager with the command:
sudo service NetworkManager restart
Tested and working on
* Kali Linux
* Raspberry PI
We've added the "realtek-leds.conf" in build directory,
with this you may change the leds to
"2: Allways On", "1: Normal" or "0: Allways Off" with placing the file in "/etc/modprobe.d/
Manual modprobe will override this file if option value also included at the command line, e.g.,
$ sudo modprobe -r 8812au
$ sudo modprobe 8812au rtw_led_ctrl=1
