  • RTS522A Realtek card reader not working for me on kernel 5.11
    1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 3 Oct 2021
    lspci -v | grep -A 5 unassigned 04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01) Subsystem: Lenovo RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 255 Memory at fd500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=4K] Capabilities: Kernel modules: rtsx_pci I also tried installing a fixed driver of the broken one that is available on the Realtek website. However, even though I'm pretty sure the installation of that one worked, lsmod | grep rts rts5229 294912 0 the card reader still uses the rtsx_pci driver instead of this one, even after running rmod rtsx_pci which now tells me the module is not even loaded (why does the lspci output tell me then the card reader is using this module)? So now I'm either looking for a way to get this card reader to use this new driver I installed, a fix of the rtsx_pci driver, or someone to point me in an entirely different direction, because I barely understand how most of this works. Please ask away for any other outputs you need me to provide.

  • aircrack 5ghz network monitoring not working with AWUS036ACM
    1 project | /r/HowToHack | 6 May 2023
    I ended up returning AWUS036ACM and buying AWUS1900 (based on Realtek chipset). Installed appropriate drivers https://github.com/morrownr/8814au and everything is working as expected! No issues so far. Working on both the Kali virtual machine and the raw Debian machine. Lesson learned - stay away from Mediatek.

    I have same and got it to work using this driver on Github. The thing u/LoveFOSS recommended didn't work for me at all, but ymmv.

    I've installed the driver for my NIC here
  • Configuring a Local AP with an external NIC (AWUS1900)
    1 project | /r/linuxmasterrace | 20 Aug 2022
    I'm trying to setup a local mumble server which clients can connect to over wifi, all provided by my AWUS1900 network card. I've gotten to the point where the NIC works with these instructions, and I setup a local AP following these instructions, but I cannot see the Mumble server running on the Pi3. I am able to connect to the hotspot but I can't ping any devices including the host of the whole server, strangely. When the pi is connected to ethernet to my local network, the mumble server works however.

    However, if you're after long range or high speed with the Pi, and don't mind having to custom build a driver, I have this TP-Link Archer T9UH with the Realtek RTL8814au chipset. It needs this driver, which I was able to build by following the instructions on that page. It works like a champ, until there's a new kernel release, in which case it breaks until I rebuild that driver. It does however offer USB3 and 11ac, and has no trouble connecting and maintaining a high speed link (100+mbps) between where it lives in my RV parked in the driveway, and the AP in the back bedroom of my house. This is enough distance where the onboard Pi4 wifi could barely see my network and couldn't even sustain megabit speeds reliably.
  • AWUS1900 wireless adapter problem

    I would recommend trying https://github.com/morrownr/8814au this driver, but honestly, the driver and that hardware are trash in terms of Linux support, and I’d highly recommend getting something from https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/The_Short_List.md

  • Pop Os Kernel 5.16 fixed lenovo legion 5 wifi driver
    1 project | /r/pop_os | 9 Mar 2022
    It made no sense as to why it was scanning, it's my desktop adapter and only has to connect to a singular network. Anyway i figured it might've been due to roaming so i went and reinstalled the driver i use (i use an adapter with the rtl8814au chip and use this driver: https://github.com/morrownr/8814au), just to be sure i manually set the BSSID in the network settings.
