rtl8814=1 compiling 8812 driver on all branches about rtl8812au

[kcdtv]

I just got an AWUS1900 and compilation worked

make RTL8814=1 DEBUG=1
(...)
 Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
  CC      /home/kcdtv/RTL88XXAU/rtl8812au/astsam/5.1.5/rtl8812au/8814au.mod.o
  LD [M]  /home/kcdtv/RTL88XXAU/rtl8812au/astsam/5.1.5/rtl8812au/8814au.ko
make[1]: se sale del directorio '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-kali4-amd64'

Are you sure that you are in the correct branch?
What did not worked properly is the make install order that is not supposed to be used but that i always use.

sudo make install
install -p -m 644 8812au.ko  /lib/modules/4.9.0-kali4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
install: no se puede efectuar `stat' sobre '8812au.ko': No existe el fichero o el directorio
Makefile:1861: fallo en las instrucciones para el objetivo 'install'
make: *** [install] Error 1

It looks for 8812au.ko and should search for 8814au.ko
Maybe you tried it and thought that compilation did not work?
I am pretty sure that or you forgot to be in correct branch, or you forgot to use the RTL814AU=1 at compilation time or you tried to "make install it" and have been confused by the error message.

I also got the AWUS1900 and confirm with kcdtv that compilation working for 8814AU.

Tried all branches. Same behavior persists.

Reverting to previous 4.3.21 iteration from March, which is unaffected:
rtl8812au.old.zip

I see no errors in the output. Just several warnings. It's ok. The driver was built successfully. BTW, you miss RTL8814=1 and built the driver for RTL8812AU. Try the v5.1.5 branch it should have better sensitivity in the monitor mode.

That's my problem.

'make RTL8814=1' simply builds the 8812 driver. This problem persists across all branches, including the v5.1.5 branch.

The only version I see that works properly? The old version of the 4.3.21 branch that I zipped, and posted in a reply to my own thread.

[astsam]

Both v4.3.21 and v5.1.5 branches may be built for RTL8812AU/21AU or for RTL8814AU. The master branch has no support for RTL8814AU. There is no problem you noticed in the issue.

guys i need a working driver rtl8814au for kali 4.11 for awus1900

[kimocoder]

@alisidani Kali just updated the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms package today, but it can be manually build from https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au since the repo is more up2date than "astsam"'s unfortunately

[alisidani]

I installed the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms many times..kali can see the awus adapter and i can scan networks but it fails to connect to any one..the status keep connecting and re-asking the password noting that im sure that my password is correct

[kimocoder]

There is an update for the package available now. Use apt-get to update it

[alisidani]

I updated and still asking for password and not connecting

[alisidani]

Anyone got the awus1900 working on kali?or other linux distribution? Even on ubuntu it doesn't connect to wireless networks

[kimocoder]

It works for me (",)

[alisidani]

What driver did you install? What version of linux do you use? Are you booting from vmware?

[alisidani]

When i try to make from https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au i get an error:
/bin/sh: 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected
Makefile:1264: recipe for target 'modules' failed

[kimocoder]

Do you have the "linux-headers" installed? And which branch are you compiling? I've tested them all, so everyone should work besides the v5.1.5 duo to missing kernel v4.12 support. Anyways, installing the newly updated "realtek-rtl88xx-dkms" with apt-get also works fine & should/may now be used again because it contains both 4.11 and 4.12 support

[kimocoder]

the connection problem you got is another problem, which personally i can't reproduce or take a look at at the time because of holiday, but Im home in 8 days and will absolutely take a look at the problem as i use this adapter myself :)

[alisidani]

Okay
I installed the linux 4.11 amd64 headers

Ill keep trying to figure out the problem and ill contact you

[kimocoder]

great.. smells like a networkmanager problem, but.who knows for sure :/
anytime sir, would be happy to get more information for this problem to ensure it'll be fixed

[alisidani]

I don't think its a network managrt problem..i installed WICD and still the same problem..i can see networks but cannot connect
I tried this on kali-parrot-ubuntu and black arch

[kimocoder]

Ok. I appreciate your search for infornation/solution for this problem, if you could file an issue report with given information in the link some posts above (the aircrack-ng repo) it would be great, then more people could be aware of the problem & others may also take part in getting the problem solved with. Again, thanks for your help
