Trying to get the Realtek rtl8812au wireless adapter to work in Ubuntu 22.04

[Joe_Linux]

I am trying to get the Realtek rtl8812au wireless adapter to work in Ubuntu 22.04, I tried following this post.

https://tutorialforlinux.com/2022/01/11/realtek-rtl8812au-driver-ubuntu-22-04-installation-step-by-step/
This is my result

[mastablasta]

look like it successfully installed. is the dongle not working?

also does anything show up in additional drivers application? Realtek are sometimes included in kernel and other times they are available in additional drivers.

for DKMS patching you need to have secure boot off i believe.

also you might also be able to install via PPA. for example: https://launchpad.net/~mrazavi/+archive/ubuntu/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2

To install the driver on Ubuntu 20.04, use the following commands. I have only tested it with linux kernel 5.13.0 (with linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge package), but it may work on other kernels as well:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mrazavi/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2

sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms

Moved to Ubuntu Dev Version as 22.04 hasn't been released yet
Post results from terminal for
cat /proc/cmdline; mokutil --sb-state

Why are you using the 5.3 kernel with 22.04, it should be using the 5.15 kernel

[Joe_Linux]

After a reboot, is the rtl8812au folder still there? I don't think dkms can be used with a persistent install as the kernel can't really be changed

[Joe_Linux]

jeremy31
Are you aware of a chip set (802.11ac wireless usb dongle) that works out of the box with Ubuntu 22.04 ?
Thank you

[jeremy31]

Netgear A6210 is one of them, has a Mediatek MT7612U chipset

[Joe_Linux]

Thank you

[Joe_Linux]

jeremy31
Do you think this would work if 22.04 was installed on a usb ssd ? https://tutorialforlinux.com/2022/01/11/realtek-rtl8812au-driver-ubuntu-22-04-installation-step-by-step/

[SeijiSensei]

I built the driver from aircrack-ng, and it is working flawlessly.

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

Installed git, build-essential, and dkms. Then I cloned the archive with git then ran "make dkms_install" as I recall.

[Joe_Linux]

First thank you to everyone who posted to help me in this thread.

Ubuntu 22.04 sees the rtl8812au adapter :)

[Joe_Linux]

BTW here is the URL I used the section that included Ubuntu instructions
https://miloserdov.org/?p=5507 Thank you again to all the people who posted

[Joe_Linux]

How do I mark this thread as solved ?

[Joe_Linux]

How did you know that this chipset would work ?

[comperem]

These steps from @Joe_Linux worked like a champ for Ubuntu 22.04 with EDUP wifi dongle using RTL8812au chipset.

Had to unplug then re-plug in dongle after final dkms command. Did not have to reboot.

Summary steps pulled from quoted post:
(1) sudo apt install git build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` debhelper dpkg-dev dkms bc
(2) git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
(3) cd rtl8812au
(4) sudo make dkms_install

unplug usb wifi dongle then re-plug back in.

boom. led lights up right away looking for SSIDs

thank you.



First thank you to everyone who posted to help me in this thread.

Ubuntu 22.04 sees the rtl8812au adapter :)

I am glad that this helped you.

Joe,

I know this is an old thread that is marked solved but...

You asked about adapters that work with in-kernel drivers:

https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Select menu item 2 for a long list of usb wifi adapters that use in-kernel adapters.

If you still have the 8812au based adapter, select menu item 5 and you will find the link to the 8812au driver. It is a good driver as far as Realtek out-of kernel drivers go.

Cheers

Thank you
