4/29/2023 0 Comments Realtek 8812au wireless driverThe Alfa website lists only one Windows 7 driver, and it is six months old - messages to their tech support have gone unanswered. I used the command opkg install kernel-module-8812au-4.10.124.3. For starters, Im having a hard time finding the most up-to-date drivers for the RTL8812AU chipset used by the AWUS036AC - strangely, there seems to be no listing for it on Realteks website. You need to install it via the commandline or via software management / package management, as it is not a plugin. But effectively all it would need, is someone pushing for it - to provide a (long-term-) manageable pull request with lexra support against OpenWrt/ master, kernel 4.14, musl, hostapd/ nl80211 for the wlan drivers and not too many arch specific changes (so it can be reasonably updated with the rest of OpenWrt and not stay behind). On the VU+ Zero 4K, the package is called 'kernel-module-8812au'. Personally I don't think lexra will 'ever' be supported in LEDE/ OpenWrt (too different from normal mips, no upstream/ toolchain support at all, very low-end devices, the wlan situation (drivers, AP mode reliability, nl80211 support) is difficult). In terms of lexra (Realtek's reduced mips ISA) support, there is none - nor anyone actively pushing for it (as in providing patches/ pull requests against current master) chances for this to change are non-zero, but extremely low (once you'd have hypothetical lexra arch/ SOC support, there would still be the problem of the wlan drivers and current hostapd/ nl80211, to drive them reliably in AP mode).
