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.
