## 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.
