So I followed the steps here: How to install D-link DWA-172 (ID 2001:3318) driver
I always fail on the installation, here is the process:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential linux-headers-generic
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd rtl8812au
No problem here, I installed everything at their latest version, cloned the driver in my Documents folder and "cded" on it;
Added the magic string in os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c under #ifdef CONFIG_RTL8821A section (after /*=== Customer ID ===*/);
{USB_DEVICE(0x2001, 0x3318),.driver_info = RTL8821}, /* D-Link DWA-172 */
And then I do: make it spits out some gibberish (much gibberish), and then sudo make install,
this is what I get:
install -p -m 644 rtl8812au.ko /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ /sbin/depmod -a 5.4.0-42-generic
And theeen i do sudo modprobe 8812au and this is the result:
modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic
In one comment in the post I was referring this whole time somebody said that he had to do sudo modprobe rtl8812au instead of 8812au only, when I do that it doesn't say anything and I am immediately able to write again on the cli, so I thought that I won, but then after the reboot nothing happened, not even running again modprobe rtl8812au.
Any help would be amazing, thanks.
