Install Troubles #142

Open MrSlipicus opened 2 years ago

MrSlipicus commented 2 years ago

I was successfully (or so it reported) able to run the dkms auto install. Afterwards lsusb reports.

pi@raspberrypi:/usr/src/rtl88x2bu-git $ lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1a2c:2124 China Resource Semico Co., Ltd Keyboard Bus 001 Device 004: ID 413c:301a Dell Computer Corp. Dell MS116 Optical Mouse Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL88x2bu [AC1200 Techkey] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

This is my currently installed and running Kernel. This is on an RPI 4 Model B.

I have been having real trouble getting any driver for this device to install. It is a Techkey AC 1300Mbps usb 3.0 adapter.

MrEngmans script reports it is RTL8822BU however all of the software install options report RTL8812BU.

MrEngmans also says there are no drivers for my current Kernel which is

Linux raspberrypi 5.15.32-v7l+ #1538 SMP Thu Mar 31 19:39:41 BST 2022 armv7l GNU/Linux

Am I barking up the wrong tree?

RTL8812BU and RTL8822BU are the same thing in term of WiFi, one of them has Bluetooth support, but not in this driver. Try use modprobe 88x2bu to load the driver. If it not works, check dmesgkernel logs.

I was able to get it to work with modprobe, it was just being a little testy with me for a bit. I do appreciate your assistance. I did notice, when running airodump-ng I can get the device to run in monitor mode, and it shows that it is monitoring. However, if I try using tcpdump it reports that device does not support monitor mode.

Any suggestions?

I just tested and success dump data using tcpdump in monitor mode. So I had no idea why it shows not support in your system.
