Anyway, my kernel is stock Raspbian:
Linux raspberrypi3 4.4.50-v7+ #970 SMP Mon Feb 20 19:18:29 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux
I think a newer kernel is installed but isn't getting booted for some reason. I'm kind of a Linux newbie

I've compiled the 8822bu driver with a couple of warnings. Whether it will work or not I don't know as I don't have a 8822bu wifi module to test it with.cdclawson wrote:I've heard there's a way to use Windows drivers on Linux with a package called "ndiswrapper", but I've never tried it. Then again, it might fail anyway because it's ARM and not x86.

BTW where did you find the driver source, and did you need to do anything special to compile it? Thanks

The 8812au driver is available for 4.9.25-v7~ #995. Did you type the file name correctly when using the tar xzf command? The error is typical if you type the name incorrectly which would essentially point to a file that doesn't exist.nix235 wrote:Greetings!
Is there a driver for:

I have a script which will automatically determine the driver version you need for the Raspbian kernel version you are using and download and install it.

Yes, you will whenever you update the kernel, but at least you now have a working wifi.
Hi MrEngman. All of the websites above give an 404 error. I'm trying to get my Edimax adapter working on a Rpi3 running LibreELEC.SkywalkerPD wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2017 9:01 amWill this process work on a Pi3 running LibreELEC 8.1.2? I'm using the EW-7811UTC dongle, and it doesn't work with 5Ghz AC.
At the moment I use this configuration:
echo "options 8812au rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 rtw_ips_mode=1 rtw_vht_enable=0 rtw_ht_enable=1" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/8812au.conf
And now it is stable but only on wifi N. If there is a way to enable working and stable 5Ghz AC, I really like to try that!
Thanks!
The drivers I compile are specifically for Raspbian OS so I don't expect them to work with LibreELEC. However, as far as I'm aware there is an 8812au driver included in LibreELEC.SkywalkerPD wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 6:47 pmHi MrEngman. All of the websites above give an 404 error.

uname -a gives: Linux LibreELEC 4.9.59 #1 SMP Fri Dec 15 23:48:41 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux
Is it possible to update the driver for this configuration?
Thank you very much!
My wifi is working but on 5Ghz it is very unstable. So I used the options in de .conf to try to get it more stable. This works most of the time, but I experience a lot of disconnects. And after a reboot the wifi will not connect.MrEngman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 06, 2018 7:56 pmThe drivers I compile are specifically for Raspbian OS so I don't expect them to work with LibreELEC.

Quite sometime ago when I first added the EW-7811UTC to one of my Pis it only connect to the 2.4 GHz access point until I changed the wifi set up and disabled access to the 2.4GHz access point and then it connected to the 5GHz access point. After that I was able to re-enable access to the 2.4GHz access point and the EW-7811UTC still connected to the 5GHz access point. My 2.4GHz and 5GHz access points have different ssids.
You can access the drivers on my new web site at http://downloads.fars-robotics.net using a PC with internet access. Select the link Directory of available wifi drivers and then the link 8812au-drivers and then look for the file 8812au-4.9.59-1047.tar.gz.xyboox wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2018 11:15 am@MrEngman could you please help me once more with this WiFi adapter? I don't have internet access from my Raspi ( is a Zero so no UTP port ) so I can't use your script to determine the build and automatic download of drivers. So I have to download them and copy them to the card and install locally.
My build is 4.9.59+ #1047 ( from uname -a ).
Thank you!

You do not need to uninstall the old driver, just install the new one.

I compile drivers for the Raspbian OS but your kernel/build indicates your OS is not Raspbian.SkywalkerPD wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:00 pm@MrEngman
Are you planning to create driver files for the RTL8812AU on kernel 4.9.95?
That would be very much appreciated!!
Wifi install script now tells me:
*** Raspberry Pi wifi driver installer by MrEngman.
Your current kernel revision = 4.9.95+
Your current kernel build = #1
I don't know if it will.SkywalkerPD wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 7:37 amOS is Xbian which is also based on debian. Wouldn't that work?
