$ "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`"

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"

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
