AC600 usb wifi adapter 17.10 need help -wireless script pastebin inc...
After many months of reading and following thru the many threads both on and off Ubuntuforums, I submit!
Here's my wireless script
http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/MrcNc2KYVG/
kernel is 4.13.0-32-generic (#35-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 25 09:13:46 UTC 2018)
Thank you in advance for helping..

With a temporary working internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8812au
sudo dkms build rtl8812au/4.2.2
sudo dkms install rtl8812au/4.2.2
Reboot and tell us if the wireless is working.

Hello, and thank you for your reply...
prior to completing without error, this was generated. In case it helps, as I've certainly ran much code over the time I've spent trying to fix this issue.
8812au:
Running module version sanity check.
Error! Module version v4.2.2_7502.20130517 for 8812au.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 4.13.0-32-generic (v5.1.5_19247.20160830).
You may override by specifying --force.
depmod........
DKMS: install complete
rebooting now....
EDIT: NO LOVE :-(

Jason, Jason, Jason! You have been a busy Ubuntuan, haven't you?
Let's clean out the basement:
Code:
sudo dkms remove rtl8812au/4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg --all
sudo dkms remove 8812au/4.2.2 --all
sudo dkms remove rtl8812au/5.2.9 --all
You probably don't need ndiswrapper, either; nobody does:
Code:
sudo apt purge ndiswrapper*
Now check:
If there are any remaining 8812au instances sudo dkms remove -all them as well until status is cleaned.
Then we'll try again.

I'll ran the first codes you suggested again and rebooted, with fingers X'd, but no love
Re: AC600 usb wifi adapter 17.10 need help -wireless script pastebin inc...
May we see:
Code:
sudo dkms status
modinfo 8812au | grep 9052

I know my device id is 0846:9052 but not getting any output with the code.. Is the Diff referring to 8812au and 8811au, perhaps?
Re: AC600 usb wifi adapter 17.10 need help -wireless script pastebin inc...
To clear things up for me, could you run
$ sudo lshw -class network
and post the output.
I'm interested in two fields: 1) serial; 2) logical name.
I've looked through your pastebin and the association of these is not clear to me. Depending on the output, I'd like to try working with wpa_supplicant and its generic wireless driver. If you've already looked down that hole then never mind. Let me know though.

Let's try harder.
Code:
sudo dkms remove 8812au/4.2.2 --all
sudo dkms remove rtl8812au/4.2.2 --all
Next, we try to build and install again:
Code:
cd ~
sudo dkms add ./rtl8812au
sudo dkms build rtl8812au/4.2.2
sudo dkms install --force rtl8812au/4.2.2
Next, try:
Code:
sudo modprobe 8812au
modinfo 8812au | grep 9052

Do USB wireless devices show up in lshw if there is no associated driver that informs the system that this is, indeed a network device?
Until a driver associates with the hardware, wpa_supplicant will be useless.
