I managed to install the driver without any problem, I have a small problem though. After loading the modules

sudo insmod 8812au.ko

The wireless interface is available, but the name of the interface is "enx[my MAC address]". I'm not sure if this as something to do with the driver or the device itself (Realtek RTL8812AU), if it was any other name I wouldn't bother, but it's my MAC address.

If someone could tell me who I can change the interface name I would appreciate it.

I've been trying some things out, but it seems that every solution relies on the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file, but that file has not been generated for me, so that leaves me with no answer. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04
