then dmesg will spit [32676.722829] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp0s20f0u3: link is not ready

Scanning for network will show no access points and it doesn't connect to anything.

[ptpt52]

hi, can you try this code out? this is a new version base https://github.com/ptpt52/rtl8812au

[libcg]

Thanks I will.

Looking at the commit history of this repo I'm a bit concerned, it looks like there is no review at all. It's doing more harm than good

[Grief]

@ptpt52 why do you spam with this fork in every single issue while "abperiasamy:master and ptpt52:master are identical."?

[libcg]

@ptpt52 your repo doesn't work, but https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au does. I think it's a slightly more recent version of the driver.

[weedy]

Newest stable https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU/commits/driver-4.3.20 Repo also has beta 4.3.22
