Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au)

This is a fork of the Realtek 802.11ac (rtl8812au) v4.2.2 (7502.20130507) driver altered to build on Linux kernel version >= 3.10.

Purpose

My D-Link DWA-171 wireless dual-band USB adapter needs the Realtek 8812au driver to work under Linux.

The current rtl8812au version (per nov. 20th 2013) doesn't compile on Linux kernels >= 3.10 due to a change in the proc entry API, specifically the deprecation of the create_proc_entry() and create_proc_read_entry() functions in favor of the new proc_create() function.

Building

The driver is build by running make, and can be tested by loading the built module using insmod:

make
sudo insmod 8812au.ko

After loading the module, a wireless network interface named Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter should be available.

Installing

Installing the driver is simply a matter of copying the built module into the correct location and updating module dependencies using depmod:

sudo 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
sudo depmod

The driver module should now be loaded automatically.
