88x2bu-20210702 VS RTL8812BU

Hi guys, today i follow this guide: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 to install my usb external card for virtualbox machine. The usb work really great in another laptop (with kali iso installed without other system os), i try to configure it in a virtual machine and start all the problem. At the finish of all things i have the menu with "wifi" to search nearby connection but doesn't connect to mine or other, it try forever. Idk if i need to check the config system and maybe i miss something in there, if anyone can help me i really appreciate it bc it resolve me so much pain i can't use my laptop to make all the thing, i want make it run on a vm for a better "safe place" If u need something like how i set the config file let me know *i try with airodump to start the wlan0mon, it seems activate but when i try to scan it doesn't appear as 0mon and i can't scan

I used this driver for an adapter with the same chip on my 4b.

i have read that sometimes a manufacturer will release the same product with different chipsets which could affect how well the driver does or does not work with your device. it may help to check the usb id's with lsusb and verify with this list that your device is supported by the driver you linked: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702/blob/main/supported-device-IDs

I found this GitHub - morrownr/88x2bu-20210702: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8812BU and RTL8822BU Chipsets - v5.13.1

i've never needed to use one myself, but have seen this developer's work show up in lots of searches for realtek drivers. the times i can recall others trying their drivers were successful if i remember correctly. in addition, they often have what seems like extensive documentation so it may be worth a try: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702

I think it is this one: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702

Run git clone https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702.git && cd 88x2bu-20210702 && chmod +x install-driver.sh This will download the files you need

You can compile from source. This one seems to have been updated to support up to Linux 6.2: https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702

RHEL 8 is a 4.18 kernel, this driver might work as it is tested with 4.15. Realtek drivers are known to be annoying, unfortunately they are in a ton of USB dongles because they are so cheap.

sudo apt update sudo apt install -y dkms git bc git clone -b v5.6.1 https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU.git cd RTL8812BU make sudo make install sudo reboot

You bought an adapter with no linux support. A short google search shows that thing uses a Realtek RTL8812BU chip. It looks like there is a 3rd party driver made for linux at https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU but it requires you to clone and compile it.

Later, wife noted wifi was not as good in particular part of house so installed a RTL8812BU wifi adapter using driver from https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU.

Is it https://www.brostrend.com/products/ac3? I ask because I bought https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/284231856690 and followed instructions here, https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU - instructions are different depending on kernel. Yours and mine use the same chipset.

The sophisticated driver from https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU expects the mentioned kernel image vmlinux in the standard location

I downloaded this driver: https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU/tree/v5.8.7 and hoped to easily install it offline, but it didn't work. Terminal tries to download metadata, but obviously it's not possible without internet. Compiling it gave also an error, if I remember correctly it said that it couldn't find anything in temp build folder? DKMS can't be installed either. I also tried to download it on my phone and move it then to Fedora (like I did with the WiFi driver), but it wasn't possible to install it because of too many dependencies that I have no access to...

sudo apt update sudo apt install -y dkms git bc git clone -b v5.6.1 https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU.git cd RTL8812BU VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf) sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER} sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo dkms install -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} sudo modprobe 88x2bu sudo reboot

Had no WIFI option at all. Downloaded this driver (RTL8812BU v5.6.1, for 5.10 kernel) on my phone and connected it then to my PC, so I can install it: https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU/tree/v5.6.1
