Any hope of integrating this driver into OpenWrt to support Realtek 8832AU wireless chipset? WiFi 6 is coming so maybe this can be part of that for OpenWrt?
Would this work from the command prompt of OpenWrt?
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8852au.git
cd rtl8852au
make
opkg install ./rtl8852au.ko
no, you don't compile openwrt on openwrt.
How exactly would I compile this driver and install it on my Raspberry Pi4 running OpenWrt? Do I submit it somewhere and it's compiled remotely? I read the link and it's beyond my ability.
You create the basic config for it to get packaged, and run the cross compile.
If it's only for you, then you can do it on a free cloud host.
If you want everyone to benefit, make it part of the mainline kernel.
I just have the link included in the first message. I'd like to try it just for myself first. Don't know what to do next.
good luck, but this forum is full of broken RTL dreams.
Anyone else able to point me to where I can request this driver be integrated into OpenWrt?
you can't.
you want it in openwrt, you need to get it added to the Linux kernel.
unless you're willing to maintain the package/code yourself, for openwrt, for ever.
Grrr. Arrrgh
