Wireless not recognized on 14.04.3 LTS & 15.10 installation - GITHUB install help?

[keithwwalker]

install -p -m 644 8812au.ko  /lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

sudo modprobe -v 8812au

should do the trick

It is not finding the file:

keithwwalker@keithwwalker-GR8:~$ install -p -m 644 8812au.ko  /lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
install: cannot stat ‘8812au.ko’: No such file or directory

BUT: I was able to find the 8812au.ko file in an Asus AC56 USB driver folder and was able to install:

keithwwalker@keithwwalker-GR8:~/Desktop/rtl8812AU_linux_v4.3.13_14061.20150505$ sudo install -p -m 644 8812au.ko  /lib/modules/3.19.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
keithwwalker@keithwwalker-GR8:~/Desktop/rtl8812AU_linux_v4.3.13_14061.20150505$ sudo modprobe -v 8812au
insmod /lib/modules/3.19.0-42-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8812au.ko

Let's see if that works with a reboot, fingers crossed...

Nope, nothing is indicating that the wireless is here.
Any ideas? I can't be the only Asus PC out here with this problem. What frustration...

This machine is now awesome with the wifi working!
Asus GR8 with Two SSD's, added 8gb RAM, and the secret internal USB port will be getting a bluetooth adaptor soon.

Thanks to everyone who helped out. Each time I have a problem, I learn a bit more.

Awesome !!

Wow, just when I thought I was out of the woods - the wifi was connecting good, but with every reboot, it has gotten progressively worse until now it recognizes the wifi signal, but won't make a connection.
Will have to research this snafu now....

I was able to reconnect by reloading into terminal:

cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

I have to experiment more to see if I have to reload the wifi every time I load an incremental software update. The only other change was that I had my Note 4 phone plugged in and that was giving me some errors....
