|
|
* Clean out Windows & FreeBSD code (partially. some NDIS code and switches around)
|
|
* Clean out unsupported chipsets (partially. some switches left all around
|
|
* Throw/rip Intel WIDI support out, it's left behind anyway.
|
|
* Consider adding rtl8188eus HAL/phydm support into the driver for simplicity.

### 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 v5.6.4.1 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
