Linux Kernel 4.15 and above compatible realtek driver for RTL8812BU/RTL8822BU chipset (Inamax/Edimax USB Wifi Adapters)

rtl88x2bu-driver's Issues

Trying to compile driver in Ubuntu 20 running into issues

I am following along with the build/installation steps in this github however once I get to the sudo insmod 88x2bu.ko portion I get this error: "insmod: ERROR: could not load module 88x2bu.ko: No such file or directory". Should I be in a certain directory before running this command.

Device unrecognized after reboot

Having to reinstall with every reboot. Is there a way to make the installation permanent?

cannot build the driver

Linux kernel:
Linux user-comp 4.15.0-66-generic #75-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 1 05:24:09 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I cloned it first:
git clone https://github.com/its-izhar/rtl88x2bu-driver.git

Here are the messages:

Here's the complete error output followed by a web link to another bug report, with an included fix, that might be relevant.

replace get_ds() in rtl88x2bu-driver/os_dep/osdep_service.c with KERNEL_DS

Raspberry Pi Support

I used your driver to install on my Raspberry Pi 4 (Kernel 4.19). I had to change some flags to allow this, however. Here's my Makefile with a couple changes (defining CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI)

feel free to update with this if you'd like.

Regards,
Dave

Hostpot very slow

Hello, i successful installed two TPLINK T4U AC 1300, in two different computers. I created a hostpot in one computer and the other is connected to it. My problem is that when i test the speed using iperf3, the maximum value that i obtain is 13MB/S. I switch to different channels, different bands (2.4 GHz and 5GHz), but changes were worst, i have never got more than 13MB/S. Please, i need some help to solving this. Thank you very much.

TRENDnet TEW-808UBM Micro AC1200 Wireless USB Adapter 20f4:808a

For the device
TRENDnet TEW-808UBM Micro AC1200 Wireless USB Adapter
20f4:808a, see notes cilynx/rtl88x2bu#73

Please add support to this driver for the above device, thank you.

Kernel 5.0 support

Hi,
I'm using lubuntu 18.04 64 bit with kernel 5.0.x. With the previous kernel 4.15.x, the devices worked perfectly. Now I have many compilation errors. I solved some of them, but it still does not compile.
Can you help me?
Thank you
