It took something like 8 days to make RTL8821AU and RTL8812AU kind of functional. But in the end I stopped and switched to rtw88. Partly because Kalle doesn't like rtlwifi (I don't like it either), and partly because there are several problems which I don't want to fix. rtw88 is more pleasant to work with. At this point, rtw88 support for RTL8821AU is almost complete. It's only missing the bluetooth coexistence code. RTL8812AU still needs some more work.
