I just built the driver from https://github.com/xxNull-lsk/rtl8812AU on my machine with kernel 4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 with absolutely no problem. Note that you must have the kernel-devel RPM installed, and I'd recommend also having the elfutils-libelf-devel RPM installed. I didn't build it for DKMS use, just the regular build: [rick@prophead rtl8812AU-master]$ uname -r 4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 [rick@prophead rtl8812AU-master]$ modinfo 8812au.ko filename: /home/rick/Downloads/Drivers/rtl8812AU-master/8812au.ko version: v5.1.5_19247.20160830 author: Realtek Semiconductor Corp. description: Realtek Wireless Lan Driver license: GPL srcversion: C550A52D7A7F27740561522 alias: usb:v2604p0012d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v2001p3316d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v2001p3315d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v07B8p8812d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v2019pAB30d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v1740p0100d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v1058p0632d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v2001p3313d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0586p3426d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0E66p0022d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0B05p17D2d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0409p0408d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0789p016Ed*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v04BBp0952d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0DF6p0074d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v7392pA822d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v2001p330Ed*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v050Dp1106d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0BDAp881Cd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0BDAp881Bd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0BDAp881Ad*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* alias: usb:v0BDAp8812d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* depends: cfg80211 vermagic: 4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 SMP mod_unload <other stuff snipped> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Money can't buy happiness, but it can take the sting out of being - - miserable! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
