Found rtl8821au 4.3.19 version

[aldegoeij]

Bough an Edimax AC600 (EW-7811DAC) 2.4 and 5 Ghz dongle which comes with a rtl821au 4.3.19 stamped driver here: http://www.edimax.nl/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/nl/download/for_home/wireless_adapters/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811dac

Is this useful to add to your repo? (knowing you are already working on 22-beta)

It would, were it not that I had recently found the 4.3.20 driver and I will be adding that to this repo. Thanks for sharing :+1:

[diederikdehaas]

Yep, it's quite likely I'll re-apply various changes we've done in the repo to the 4.3.20 driver, but that one does seem to be a good candidate to be promoted as default. Despite the (slightly) lower version number than 4.3.22-beta, the code does seem to be more recent.

[diederikdehaas]

I hope the 4.3.22-beta branch will be kept.

It will. But I will change the default branch from 4.3.14 to 4.3.20 :wink:

[diederikdehaas]

It seems to me that, although 4.3.20 fixes some issues, some codes present in 4.3.22-beta have yet to be included in 4.3.20

Indeed. I'm working on the 4.3.20 driver and your PRs regarding VHT make it fail as apparently that part of the code didn't make it into 4.3.20, while it is present in 4.3.22-beta and I just saw also in your 4.3.21 driver. :thinking:

EDIT TO ADD: Do you have the original driver 'zip' file you used for me? I know I can get the code from your repo, but I want to compare your zip with mine and the original date/time stamps could be of use.

I've uploaded my WIP branch here: https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU/tree/driver-4.3.20-add-vht-capabilities-wip

I found what seems to be the original ZIP for the version @uminokoe is talking about here: http://www.edimax.co.uk/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/uk/download/for_home/wireless_adapters/wireless_adapters_ac1750_dual-band/ew-7833uac

[diederikdehaas]

No worries :+1: Unfortunately GitHub doesn't inform about updates to comments, so it's easily missed.

@uminokoe does your wifi stick work with your driver-4.3.21 branch? Are you using your driver from everyday?

[diederikdehaas]

Just as I thought I could close this issue because I uploaded the 4.3.20 driver, I noticed that the 4.3.19 driver is for the rtl8821au and not for the rtl8812au. sigh

I need a break.

(importing the hal/phydm/rtl8821a folder into the driver-4.3.20 branch and enabling 8821AU in the Makefile works)

with which drivers could you run the ew-7811dac which based on 8811au chip ?
