If you put the source code on a permanent location, this part of the procedure is necessary for a new i.e. an upgraded kernel: $ cd /path/to/rtl8812au/ $ make clean $ make $ su # cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/ # depmod # modprobe -v 8812au -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
