Your device uses the rare and elusive driver 8812au. Please get a temporary wired ethernet or similar connection, go back to the terminal and do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd ~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812auYour wireless should now be working.

Post back any errors; warnings are probably alright. I will have one additional step.

Thank you very much it works well i did:


cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/

instead of :


cd rtl8812au

Thanks again.

chili555
August 21st, 2014, 04:05 PM
I'm glad it's working! You have compiled the driver for your current kernel version only. When Update Manager installs a later linux-image, recompile:
cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812auPlease retain the file and these instructions for that time.

Please use thread tools at the top to mark Solved. The searchers will appreciate it.

I did some research and this wifi reciever uses the realtek chipset and the drivers can be downloaded here:

https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/file-closet/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.tar.gz?attredirects=0&d=1

download it to a usb drive and load it to your ubuntu from the usb drive

mine is:

I don't remember everything listed after that on the same line. its hard to remember everything when everytimt i have something new to try, i have to reboot my computer.

okay I downloaded the package and I got a butt ton of txt docs with code in them. what do i do from here? do I take the code and create a file with the correct file type extension to make it a runnable program?Ordinarily, you would right-click the file and extract it. Then, assuming you have installed the packages linux-headers-generic and build-essential, you would compile the driver:
cd ~/Desktop/rtl8812-whatever-wherever
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812auHowever, this assumes that this package is, in some way, superior to the package I linked from github, which I doubt. I doubt it because the vintage and origin of the Google code version is unknown to me. It may or may not build on your exact gcc and kernel version.

Do you have the prerequisites installed?
sudo dpkg -s build-essential
sudo dpkg -s linux-headers-generic

4.1.7-v7I don't know where you got the kernel image 4.1.7-v7 for ARM, but I'm sure it wasn't the usual Ubuntu repositories. Wherever you got it may have the headers, too. Google shows us this as a possibility: http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mhiienka/Rpi/linux-headers-rpi/

DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about ARM, Pi (except pecan) nor non-standard Ubuntu packages. Your mileage may vary, read and follow all the safety warnings, I am not an attorney and all that.

Hi,
I did search further and did find my drive to my Raspberry Pi at: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=66499&p=836818&hilit=rtl8812AU#p836818
Used uname -rv to get right os revision mapped towards correct drive, including the last -v7 argument :)

Hi everybody,

First of all, sorry for my English, I'm French but I didn't find anything about the Netgear A6100 a600 in the French forum.

I recently purchased an Acer Aspire V3 371 with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 wireless network adapter. Since it's not supported by Ubuntu, I would like to buy this Wifi USB mini adapter and I would like to be sure that it will work with Ubuntu.

I did not install Ubuntu on my laptop yet, but I think I'm going to install Ubuntu 14.04.

In this case, will I have to run this on the terminal :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd ~/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

Or is it different today with the updates?
If I install Ubuntu 15.10 rather than 14.04, will it work better without doing anything?

Thank you in advance

Your commands are correct. I'd install 15.10 because it uses the latest kernel and several improvements. For me, at least, 15.10 works perfectly.

Ok, thank you very much. I'm going to install 15.10 instead of 14.04.

Ok, thank you very much. I'm going to install 15.10 instead of 14.04.By the way, I'd love to work on your Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 wireless at some point. We need a willing test case to help us.

EDIT AGAIN..

Well I see my network as "get_in_my_belly" so yes it IS working.

No my ignorance is in how to connect to it.

You rock chili

heres the deal. I have been using these two shuttle boxes as guinea pigs for the last two days. This morning I was playing and was going to connect the two using a crossover cable. In the process I followed instructions that included uninstalling network-manager. I did. I reinstalled but it no longer shows in my "task manger" (lower right popup) sys tray. Also when I search apps in my K menu it doesnt find "network manager".
I think I will reinstall fresh and follow you instructions on this machine again. It'll be the absolute first thing i do after updating the system.

I installed Wicd manager. It sees the WIFI. it sees my network. But I get a "wrong password" error and I know my password. It is on wpa 1/2 which is correct.

This thread was started quite some time ago and has been hijacked several times.

I suggest that those of you still seeking help start your own individual threads that can be dealt with in a less confusing manner.

Thanks for your persistence here, chili555!

Closed.
