AWUS036ACS driver for Linux

Install

# apt-get install -y realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms　
was the easiest way to install.

・環境

Debian系Linnux（raspi3B+）　　APで試し中。良好な感触。

・試行錯誤経緯

本家 alfa.com.tw からダウンロードした内のMakefile には　
CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI が無く、どうしたものか悩んでいた。
購入先 amazonのカスタマーレビューに有用情報があって助かった。というか、購入前にチェックして自分に宛てた備忘メールに書いていたでござる。

This card is exactly what I needed in order to access nearby 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz channels while remaining discreet and not looking like a sketch weirdo with the huge wifi card plugged into my laptop.

This card is not plug and play for linux but all you have to do is install new realtek drivers and as you can see in my screenshots it works like a charm.. I live in an apartment building with 18 units and the card picked up about 25 SSIDs.

You can install the new drivers for debian linux (kali/parrot) with this command or something similar depending on your distro:

apt-get install -y realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

Card was plug and play for windows 10.

『With a working temporary internet connection:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git

cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe rtl8812au

It 'makes' with a couple of possibly harmless warnings but no errors on my system.

After Update Manager installs a later kernel version, also known as linux-image, and after the required reboot, recompile:

cd ~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux

make clean

make

sudo make install

sudo modprobe rtl8812au

Please retain the file and these instructions for that time.　』

『その１　ファイルの削除

端末から以下のコマンドで NetworkManager.state を削除する。(参照：1,2)

sudo service network-manager stop

sudo rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state

sudo service network-manager start

これで再起動後も自動で繋がるようになった。』
