rtl8812AU and/or rtl8814AU drivers

mueslimak3r · September 23, 2021, 11:12pm

Has anyone used these patches with openwrt for raspberry pi 4B?

Jeff Gerling talks about cross-compiling for raspberry pi all the time, and he has a dev environment setup on github for doing so. Would this work for compiling openwrt with these patches, for raspberry pi?

here's the environment git: https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/tree/master/extras/cross-compile

Also, is there a plan to merge these patches into upstream openwrt?

Like many other commenters, I already installed the latest openwrt for pi and installed the kmod-rtl8812au-ct plugin, which didn't work.

thanks @jeff1 worked straight out of the gate for me. very appreciated.

hi all,

I used Jeff's patch in order to build a rpi3 image from scratch (using the official .config of the 21.xx release) but and getting an error.
Any idea?

I'm having the same fails as listed above. Failing at include/rtw_security.h:257:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sha256_state'
Anyone done a successful compile recently?

daemonix · March 13, 2022, 9:12pm

no fun for me too!! Id love to get this working.

samtales · March 13, 2022, 9:18pm

So painful I am thinking about returning the awus 1900 or the RPi 4

castillofrancodamian · March 15, 2022, 4:08pm

There are versions of rtl8812au by aircrack-ng and morrownr
they work very well. But they are not available in OpenWrt.

daemonix · March 17, 2022, 10:18am

Is there a way to build the driver locally? (In a rPi, cpu and mem is not a problem)

Lewe4kin · March 29, 2022, 2:18pm

Hi!
Did someone succseeded to recompile aircrack-ng rtl8812au driver for Openwrt?
Because my usb adapter with driver from openwrt x86 packadge can only scan networks, but cannot to connect anywhere. Master or clienr mode does not work.

CarnivoRon · June 4, 2022, 9:26pm

Recompiled latest OpenWrt release v21.02.3 with Jeff's patch (af426db0e78c3880a6bfe26fa97ae03caccce783).
Using the x86_64 image in a VM and trying to redirect ASUS USB-AC68 adapter (based on Realtek RTL8814AU chipset) fails with the following logs:

As a result, it seems like the kernel is unable to detect the device.

Has anyone managed to make this driver work?

castillofrancodamian · June 4, 2022, 10:37pm

There is no other that fails more than these drivers.

tsjk · August 8, 2022, 7:12pm

What's the status here? I have a
0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter,
which is actually an AWUS036ACH.
Didn't really get it to work on my Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 running OpenWrt v21.02.3. I read about patching and compiling, but was not convinced it works well enough to be worth it - with the necessity of figuring out what patch and driver to actually use, and of compile and host my own kmods and all (I'm not afraid of it - ran recent OpenWrt versions on my TP-Link MR3420v2 for years, which required both compilation and extroot).
The adapter seems to work in AP-mode on another Raspberry Pi Model B Rev 2 running Void Linux (with rpi-kernel-5.10.110 and the packaged rtl8812au-dkms-20210427_1). I use that as an AP in bridge mode for now. I wonder how far off making the adapter work in OpenWrt can be, considering that it seems to work in a very similar environment (I know that the kernel in the latest stable OpenWrt is one LTS-version lower).

Hi everyone!
Can someone please upload a build with patch for rtl8812au?
THX

diederik · April 28, 2023, 8:46pm

predators_46 · June 21, 2023, 9:47pm

@jgrulich

i tested rtl8189fs but only get 40mbps speed. what should i do to get it to 50mbps?

kubrickfr · July 13, 2023, 3:24pm

For which architecture? I have a build that works, but for RPI 3

pepobaumann · July 13, 2023, 7:49pm

Yes please it´s for a RPI3
Thx!
