build kmod-rtl8812 module #2

At least as of kernel 3.13.x, the rtl8812AU_8821AU chipset requires an out-of-tree driver.

  1. Build kmod/akmod driver using the following repo: https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux OR https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au this one. The former definitely works on my x86 box but the latter has been verified to build on RPi.
  2. Deprecate 'insmod' method.

Haven't been able to figure out how to get kmod working, but I have just compiled the rtl8812AU for the RPi by modifying the Makefile to compile against ARM. Instructions to follow in appropriate area of src tree
