USB Wifi working driver

Sat Jul 25, 2020 5:45 pm

Hello all

I'm trying the make an Wifi router with Raspberry Pi4 it's onboard wifi + multiple USB 3 Wifi adapters on an USB 3 active (powered) hub.
As a USB 3 Wifi device I'm trying chipset rtl8812au.

Unfortunately I compiled multiple open source drivers but all I have are crippled drivers... for example only one works with mode monitor + injection but only with 20 mhz channels.
https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au (no monitor mode)
https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.6.4.2 (no monitor mode)
https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au (support monitor mode + injection but onlu 20 Mhz channels)

1. Please specify a working driver for rtl8812au (all chipset functionality)
2. Please recommand (from personal experience) other chipsets that support USB 3 + 802.11ac with monitor mode + injection.

I have tested with hostapd v 2.9

Thanks.

Hey! Just joined the forum and I'm looking for the same functionality. Just ordered an adapter with the RTL8812au chipset, and I'm hoping the ArchArm driver supports Monitor mode. If it doesn't, I might need to switch over to Raspbian... Which would be fine, I guess. Let me know how the driver works!
