New kernel issue #1163

Closed SeiV-K closed 2 weeks ago

SeiV-K commented 2 weeks ago

Hi, owner of AWUS036ACS here. Just updated to the latest kernel 6.8 on kali and attempted to install the driver for my adapter but it seems to be broken.

gary9872 commented 2 weeks ago

Did you upgrade your compiler to GCC-14?

I don't think it's a kernel issue, but rather a compiling issue. GCC14 probably broke it.

might be. However also using the "all-in-one" apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms instead of manually compiling dkms and the driver with make also fails at this stage

If you've installed the headers as blindows7 has suggested and it still doesn't work then try the manual install using the following:

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $(INCLUDE)-D_GNU_SOURCE -Wno-error=return-mismatch -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration -Wno-error=int-conversion -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types" make

(the above ALL one line)

compilation is successful, dkms_install is successful, but the adapter is not operational : neither on managed nor on monitor modes. It is shown on the adapters' list but it can't do anything

SeiV-K commented 2 weeks ago

tried everything from https://docs.alfa.com.tw/Support/Linux/RTL8811AU/

The device appears to be loaded all good, BUT it is not operational on ANY mode

gary9872 commented 2 weeks ago

What does your dkms status say?

Your driver should be 8821au, not 88XXau?

You should be using https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 (ALFA AWUS036ACS)

NOT https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820? ALFA AWUS036ACH ,ALFA AWUS036AC, ALFA AWUS036EAC

if your wifi driver is correct you should see Nickname:"WIFI@RTL8821AU" not WIFI@REALTEK?

I compiled 8812 earlier and yes it DOES recognize my usb stick BUT does the same things you mentioned above.

Best of luck,

Cheers

dkms status

rtl8812au/5.13.6-23, 6.8.11-amd64, x86_64: installed

bilindows7 commented 2 weeks ago

Troubleshooting Steps

Verify Driver Installation: Ensure the driver is correctly installed and recognized by the system.
```
sudo dkms status
```
You should see something like:
```
8812au, 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025, 6.8.11-amd64, x86_64: installed
```
Check Kernel Modules: Verify that the correct kernel module is loaded.
```
lsmod | grep 8812au
```
If the module is not listed, try loading it manually:
```
sudo modprobe 8812au
```
Check dmesg Logs: Look at the kernel log to see if there are any errors related to the adapter.
```
dmesg | grep 8812au
```
Look for any errors or messages that might indicate what the problem is.
Network Manager Configuration: Ensure NetworkManager is not conflicting with the adapter. Sometimes, NetworkManager might need to be restarted or configured to recognize the new adapter.
```
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
```
Monitor Mode Setup: To set up monitor mode, you can use the following commands:
```
sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
```
Replace wlan0 with your actual wireless interface name, which can be found using:
```
iwconfig
```

Managed Mode Setup: To set up managed mode, ensure the adapter is up and scanning for networks:

sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo iw dev wlan0 set type managed
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

Blacklist Conflicting Drivers: Sometimes, other wireless drivers might conflict with the 8812au driver. Blacklist these drivers if necessary.

Create or edit the blacklist file:
```
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
```
Add the following lines:
```
blacklist rtl8xxxu
blacklist r8188eu
```
Save and close the file, then update the initial ramdisk:
```
sudo update-initramfs -u
```
Reboot the System: After performing these steps, reboot the system to ensure all changes take effect.
```
sudo reboot
```

Advanced Debugging

If the adapter still does not work, consider these additional steps:

Update the Kernel: Sometimes, updating the kernel to the latest version can resolve compatibility issues.
Use a Different Driver Repository: Some users have success with alternative repositories for the same chipset. For example:
```
git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make dkms_install
```

If you've followed all these steps and the adapter is still not functioning, please provide any error messages or logs from dmesg and iwconfig, and I'll help you further troubleshoot the issue.

To uninstall all Wi-Fi drivers, including the drivers installed through DKMS, and then reinstall the correct driver for your ALFA AWUS036ACU (AC1200), follow these steps:

Uninstall Existing Wi-Fi Drivers

List DKMS Modules: Check the installed DKMS modules to identify which Wi-Fi drivers are installed.
```
sudo dkms status
```
Remove DKMS Modules: For each Wi-Fi driver listed (e.g., 8812au, 8821au), remove it. Replace module_name and module_version with the appropriate values from the dkms status output.
```
sudo dkms remove module_name/module_version --all
```
Example for 8812au:
```
sudo dkms remove 8812au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all
```
Example for 8821au:
```
sudo dkms remove 8821au/5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 --all
```
Remove Module Files: Remove any residual module files from /usr/src.
```
sudo rm -rf /usr/src/8812au-*
sudo rm -rf /usr/src/8821au-*
```
Blacklist Conflicting Drivers: Ensure conflicting drivers are blacklisted.
```
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
```
Add the following lines to blacklist other drivers that might interfere:
```
blacklist rtl8xxxu
blacklist r8188eu
```
Save and close the file, then update the initial ramdisk:
```
sudo update-initramfs -u
```
Reboot the System: Reboot the system to apply changes.
```
sudo reboot
```

Install the Correct Driver for ALFA AWUS036ACU (AC1200)

Prepare the System:
- Ensure your system is up-to-date.
```
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```
Install Dependencies:
- Install necessary packages for building the driver.
```
sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms git
```
Download the Correct Driver:
- Clone the driver repository from GitHub for the RTL8821AU chipset.
```
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708
cd 8821au-20210708
```
Build and Install the Driver:
- Compile and install the driver using DKMS.
```
sudo ./install-driver.sh
```
Reboot the System:
- Reboot your system to load the new driver.
```
sudo reboot
```

Verification Steps

Verify Driver Installation: Ensure the driver is correctly installed and recognized by the system.
```
sudo dkms status

@bilindows7 thank you very much for the detailed support! I appreciate it!

The problem ended up being the usage of a compatible, yet not functional for this specific device, driver.

After installing 8821au everything is as smooth as you describe:

I am closing this issue with a huge thanks to all guys for the support! Great community!
