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
value can be 0 or 1
check current value:
$ 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
