## Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a fork of the Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au) v4.2.2 (7502.20130507)
|
||||
driver altered to build on Linux kernel version >= 3.10.
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
My D-Link DWA-171 wireless dual-band USB adapter needs the Realtek 8812au
|
||||
driver to work under Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
The current rtl8812au version (per nov. 20th 2013) doesn't compile on Linux
|
||||
kernels >= 3.10 due to a change in the proc entry API, specifically the
|
||||
deprecation of the `create_proc_entry()` and `create_proc_read_entry()`
|
||||
functions in favor of the new `proc_create()` function.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au
|
||||
cd rtl8812au
|
||||
make
|
||||
sudo insmod 8812au.ko
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After loading the module, a wireless network interface named __Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter__ should be available.
