8812au-20210629 VS rtl8812au

I've been trying for a few hours now to install drivers for a rtl8812au based usb wifi adapter (Edimax-7822ULC/UTC) on a nanopi r6c running kernel version 5.10.110. Zero luck with both the manufacturer driver for ubuntu and with an open source one-size-fits-all (https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629). When running the manual install for morrownr's open source driver, I'm getting this error:

Is this a non-standart kali vm? If yes and you are learning, never sudo apt update/upgrade unless specifically told by your instructor. The adapter works for me with the drivers and intructions on github link

I have a dongle with that chipset, used it couple of times, worked fine. The driver I used is from here https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629

Unofficially, the chipset itself seems to be the Realtek RTL8812AU chipset, which does have community support up to the current 6.1 kernel, but latest tested on Fedora is 5.11. (it will probably work, but honestly it's still a gamble). The work seems to mostly spur from the AUR repository, which links here.

As seen in the picture, every other ping seems to be about one second long and every other somewhat it should be. Pinging directly my Router via WLAN. There are different drivers available for the RTL8812AU, currently using this one: github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629. The same issue persists using other drivers available. Power saving settings for the adapter are turned off, no effect.

The driver is available on github.

git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629.git

I had to reinstall a newer version of my driver ---> https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629/issues/67

First you will need to find out which version you have. Version one or two (this one) will need this driver. For version three (this one) you will need this driver.

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.gitcd ~/rtl8812aumakesudo make installsudo modprobe 8812ausudo apt-get updates

git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git

hopefully, the first one works. just adding those thoughts in case. also, this is the next most up to date that i found: https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au

If you have this exact device, you will have to build the driver manually, follow instructions on this page: https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au

For Kernel version 5 and above use this repo Follow the instructions in the readme it's really easy! To sum things up: git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git cd ./rtl8812au make Check if the driver compiled properly and works: sudo insmod 8812au.ko Install: sudo cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless sudo depmod

git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git

Figured that was a Realtek wireless adapter but googled bc they usually have Linux drivers, found this.... https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au
