RTL8812bu and RTL8822bu driver for Lucid
Posted: Thu 19 Dec 2019, 15:37
Built for Lucid for a AC1200 wifi dongle that I got for a pound and its range is superb. had driver for XP but linux was fun and games.
These are pretty current devices so thought this might be useful for someone.
Long story cut short disabling cfg80211 did the trick (building the rtl8812au driver does not work lol) ...older kernels did not have the extra functions later ones do but it works fine with wext instead which the network wizard offers. WPA and bandwidth just fine though not sure if possible to get the ac speeds with this.
Pop the extracted driver into /etc/network-wizard/etc/network-wizard/
run depmod in the terminal
modprobe 88x2bu or plug in the dongle and then it should appear for setting up wifi in the usual way.
