### Supports
```
* Android 10 supported
* Monitor mode
* Frame injection
* WPA3 SAE
* Wi-Fi Direct
* wpa_supplicant
* Hostapd
* USB 3.0 (currently forced down to 2.0)
* Kernel up to v5.3+
* RTKMPtool for low level debug
```
### Known Issues
```
* Interferrence has to be 'killed' with "airmon-ng check kill" or it may not go into monitor mode,
it should anyway be a good thing to do before research in monitor mode.
* VMware Workstation has issues, giving kernel oops on module load.
* Ubuntu has enabled module signing (kernel) by default, workaround:
run the 'install-and-sign-ubuntu.sh' in 'tools' folder
```
### TODO
```
* Do a walkthrough in the code, use some time and
check every corner og HAL and PHYDM for more junk & bugs.
```

### 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-get 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 driver with 'make' use
```
make
make install
```
### Notes
Download
```
git clone -b v5.6.4.2 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 linux-headers-`uname -r`
```
#### For Raspberry (RPI)
```
sudo apt-get install bc raspberrypi-kernel-headers
```
Then run this step to change platform in Makefile, For RPI 1/2/3/ & 0/Zero:
```
$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y/g' Makefile
```
But for RPI 3B+ & 4B you will need to run those below which builds the ARM64 arch driver:
```
$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = y/CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n/g' Makefile
$ sed -i 's/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = n/CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM64_RPI = y/g' Makefile
```
In addition, if you receive an error message about `unrecognized command line option ‘-mgeneral-regs-only’` (i.e., Raspbian Buster), you will need to run the following commands:
```
sed -i 's/^dkms build/ARCH=arm dkms build/' dkms-install.sh
sed -i 's/^MAKE="/MAKE="ARCH=arm\ /' dkms.conf
```
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 iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 3000
```
### LED control
#### You can now control LED behaviour statically by Makefile, for example:
```sh
CONFIG_LED_ENABLE = n
```
value can be y or n
#### statically by module parameter in /etc/modprobe.d/8812au.conf or wherever, for example:
```sh
options 88XXau 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:
```sh
$ echo "0" > /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable
```
value can be 0 or 1
#### check current value:
```sh
$ cat /proc/net/rtl8812au/$(your interface name)/led_enable
```
### USB Mode Switch
0: doesn't switch, 1: switch from usb2.0 to usb 3.0 2: switch from usb3.0 to usb 2.0
```sh
$ rmmod 88XXau
$ modprobe 88XXau rtw_switch_usb_mode:int (0: no switch 1: switch from usb2 to usb3 2: switch from usb3 to usb2)
```
### 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
```
