rtl8812au

Realtek 8812AU driver v5.2.20.2 with monitor mode and frame injection

This driver supports 8812au & 8821au chipsets, not the 8814au chipset.

Building / Installing

To build and install module manually:

$ "make" will build the 8812au, while "make RTL8821=1" will build the 8821au driver
$ sudo make install

To use DKMS install:

$ sudo ./dkms-install.sh

To use DKMS uninstall and remove:

$ sudo ./dkms-remove.sh

Notes

Download

git clone -b v5.2.20 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 libelf-dev
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Building for Raspberry (RPI) also needs

sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

For setting monitor mode

  1. 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.

  1. Set interface down
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
  1. Set monitor mode
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
  1. Set interface up
sudo ip link set wlan0 up

LED control

You can now control LED behaviour statically by Makefile, for example:

CONFIG_LED_ENABLE = n

value can be y or n

statically by module parameter in /etc/modprobe.d/8812au.conf or wherever, for example:

options 8812au rtw_led_enable=0

value can be 0 or 1

or dynamically by writing to /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable, for example:

$ echo "0" > /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable

value can be 0 or 1

check current value:

$ cat /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable

NetworkManager

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
