* Removed "TODO" tab, as we're aware of the problems/issues on the drivers and it's better to use issue reports rather than updating the README.md all the time.

# RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU drivers
|
|
# with monitor mode and frame injection
|
|
|
|
## DKMS
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Installation of Driver
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Removal of Driver
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Make

|
For building & installing the RTL8812AU driver with 'make' use
|
|
```
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
and for building & installing the RTL8814AU driver with 'make' use

## Notes
|
|
Download
|
|
```
|
|
git clone -b v5.1.5 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
|
|
cd rtl*
|
|
```
|
|
Package / Build dependencies
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential
|
|
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
|
|
```
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
2. Set interface down
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
|
|
```
|
|
3. Set monitor mode
|
|
```
|
|
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
|
|
```
|
|
4. Set interface up
|
|
```
|
|
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
|
|
```
|
|
For setting TX power
|
|
```
|
|
sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```
|
|
sudo iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000
|
|
```
|
|
For Ubuntu 17.04 add the following lines
|
|
```
|
|
[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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## LED Parameter
|
|
```
|
|
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
|
|
```
