## Realtek 8812AU driver v5.2.20.2 with monitor mode and frame injection
|
|
|
|
This driver supports 8812au & 8821au chipsets, not the 8814au chipset at this moment.

|
### Building / Installing
|
|
|
|
To build and install module manually:
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use DKMS install:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo ./dkms-install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To use DKMS uninstall and remove:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### TX Power Control
|
|
|
|
The txpower may be adjusted with these commands
|
|
```
|
|
ifconfig <adapter> down
|
|
iwconfig <adapter> txpower 30
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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 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:
|
|
|
|
```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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 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
|
