For what it is worth, I cloned this repo to my RasPi4B last night. It runs as a dual band AP with relatively clean 64 bit installation of the 2024-03-15 RasPiOS. It worked. This message is going through it. I did not see any issues at all.

You are following the primary installation instructions. That is fine but @lwfinger wants to see the results as if you were doing a manual installation. The manual installation is also available in the README but all you need to do is:

From the driver directory, run:

$ make

copy the output and post it here.

This output could provide more details than the installation script provides when it comes to things like header files.

[LAP47]

Yes. It works on Linux Mint Debian 6 but not on the raspberry pi 5 and thank you for keeping this thing alive. Not on Raspberry Pi OS , Ubuntu 23.10, or MX Linux Respin for the Pi.

I did not install anything else because I didn't know that I had to. And I don't know about the second part. I don't know what you mean there about pending kernel updates and rebooting in a wee while. Lol I'll install the headers and whatever else you want me to do in whatever order you want me to do it just tell me what to do and I'll do it because I was only going by a quick Google search that I did and who knows if that person or persons even knew what they were doing but like I said I followed those quick instructions with Linux Mint Debian 6 and it worked without having to do anything additional.

just tell me what to do and I'll do it

Fortunately we have very good step-by-step instructions in the readme file, which you can read online https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-steps or by opening the cloned repositories README file on your disk. (Search for installation steps)

The command I posted is part of the instructions (Step 3).

I don't know what you mean there about pending kernel updates and rebooting

Sometimes when you do software updates on the raspberry there will be a new kernel installed. This is one of the few times when one needs to restart the computer (similar to Windows updates). If you then do not restart manually, there can be issues where the os thinks the new version was valid, but actually you are still using the old version.

If you are unsure and don't mind, I would try rebooting just in case. A reboot is also part of the step-by-step guide linked above.

[LAP47]

Okay. Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

I would recommend opening the link in a browser window on the device that you are using to interact with the raspberry and then copy pasting the appropriate lines in the terminal

Yes. I like being able to hold it in my hand and read it that way instead of having to look at on the screen and scroll up and down. Lol Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sure you can physically print it. Open the readme file in a browser of your choice https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820/blob/main/README.md Then most browsers should open the print dialog when pressing [ctrl]+p

Exact steps of cause depend on your operating system, browser, printer.

But I still recommend working in a browser and scrolling up and down (maybe opening the same tab multiple times?) because if you are typing the commands by hand off of a sheet of paper, there might be an increased risk of typoing compared to copy pasting the whole line.

Good luck.

rpi-update isn't supported by the Raspberry Pi OS developers, they do not provide the kernel headers for that. You need to revert to the official kernel by following these instructions:

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/101790/how-to-revert-from-rpi-update-to-stable-build

I.e. open a terminal and run these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel 

[michelwi]

Okay, then lets walk you through the steps that morrownr and lwfinger asked.

Take a look in the file FAQ.md. The last item very well may apply to your situation.

The last point of the FAQ https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820/blob/main/FAQ.md mentions running a 32 bit version of the operating system with a 64 bit kernel. To verify if this is the case run

uname -m

It should show one out of

32-bit: armv6l armv7l armv8 armhf
64-bit: arm64 aarch64

This is the version of your kernel. To find the version of the operating system, please run

getconf LONG_BIT

It should print either 32 or 64.

If kernel is 64 and os is 32, then we know how to fix the problem. Otherwise proceed to the next comment:

The manual installation is also available in the README but all you need to do is:

From the driver directory, run:

$ make

copy the output and post it here.

Where "the driver directory" is the exact same folder where you run the automatic installation script ($sudo ./install-driver.sh) in the last step.

If you need help copying and posting the output of make, then please let us know how you operate your raspberry pi (e.g. via ssh acces from a different pc, or with mouse/keyboard/monitor directly attached) so we can try to best guide you.

[morrownr]

@LAP47

I think I have figured out what is going on based on one of your earlier post.

I am answering you and there is no make command in the process that I'm using. It's just...

The steps you posted are wrong for what you are doing. What you need to do is find the Installation Steps section in the README file and follow the steps very carefully. Some of the steps are different depending on the Linux distro you are using. You can ask questions on each step if you need to do so.

We can't do this for you. A lot of work has gone into the documentation. It attempts to make it easy on those who are not familiar with the internal workings of operating systems.

If this is something you are not comfortable doing, then my advice is to get a USB WiFi adapter that will be plug and play so that all you have to do is plug it in and go. The Main Menu to this site is located:

https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi

Menu items 1 and 2 should be helpful. Menu item 2 shows a long list of USB WiFi adapters that are know to work well with Linux and require no driver compiling. You plug the adapter in and go.

[LAP47]

Okay. Thanks. Now I'm running into problems with updating && upgrading raspberry pi os after a fresh install. Something's wrong with the wolfram-engine. It doesn't want to upgrade from whatever comes pre-installed to whatever the upgrade is. I might have to try a different distribution or something.

No. I did follow those instructions last night and kept running into the same thing but it's probably because I was upgrading the kernel via rpi-update along with the update and upgrading process even though it says not to because that's how I roll I guess but now I'm running into another problem with raspberry pi os giving me trouble with upgrading after a clean install. The software wolfram-engine doesn't want to upgrade and even after uninstalling it and trying to re-install it it doesn't want to install properly. This is why I wish that there a proper version of Debian for it but there isn't one yet for the raspberry pi 5. It gets stuck or takes forever at the unpacking process and then ends up failing altogether.

Menu items 1 and 2 should be helpful. Menu item 2 shows a long list of USB WiFi adapters that are know to work well with Linux and require no driver compiling. You plug the adapter in and go.

For your Ubuntu 23.10 system:

Go to the driver directory and run:

sudo apt install -y build-essential dkms git iw

sudo sh install-driver.sh

reboot when the script asks.

FYI: I have a test system that has Ubuntu 23.10 on it. I have tested. This driver installs and works fine. This repo gets over 100 hits per day as I have not taken the older version of the driver down yet. It will get up to 200 hits per day soon. My point here being that this is a heavily used driver and I'm not seeing this from any other user so something specific and unusual is going on.

[LAP47]

I did that. I followed the installation steps. Without updating the kernel unless it does it automatically when apt updating and apt upgrading and this is on the raspberry pi 5 8G. I'm in the process of reimaging it via NETBOOT because when I did it the first time from my laptop and then booted into and tried updating it and upgrading it was giving me trouble. Even the setup process was giving me trouble for some reason. I had to shut it off with the power button and then restart it and do the setup process all over again. But even the driver that's available in the driver's manager installed but didn't get the dongle to work. So idk what's going on but I've gotten yours to work on my HP ProBook 6570b with Linux Mint Debian 6 and on the raspberry pi 5 8G with raspbian OS.

I'll try that first thing that you suggested [sudo apt install -y build-essential dkms git iw ] when I get chance because I wasn't doing that from the driver directory. I was doing that after updating and upgrading I think or whatever order the installation steps was telling me to do which was after the reboot from updating and upgrading.

I don't test the RasPi version of Ubuntu but was hoping the regular Ubuntu steps would work. Your best bet might be to ask in an appropriate RasPi forum. What you need to know is how to install the kernel header files.

[michelwi]

Just out of curiosity, the raspberry pi 5 does have built-in wifi. If this stick is giving so much problems, would it be feasible to use built-in wifi instead?

[LAP47]

Okay thanks.

@michelwi

... the raspberry pi 5 does have built-in wifi.

It uses a Broadcom chip. Broadcom's Linux support is subpar. This is one of the reasons you see so many Pi users using USB WiFi adapters. The best solution for Linux users that just want an adapter that just works is to look at the Plug and Play List on the Main Menu.

[LAP47]

I did it. I got it working on the raspberry pi 5 in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Then why would the raspberry pi foundation choose them (Broadcom chips) to use then?

Did you do it with the installation steps in the README or was something different required? I ask because I can add to the README to clarify things.

[morrownr]

I have heard that very early on former Broadcom employees were involved with RasPi and they had connections to Broadcom. Do I know this for a fact? No. What I do know that is factual is that Linux users should avoid Broadcom products if at all possible if they want good support.

Any startup that decides to make Linux part of their project needs to immediately determine the companies that provide the best Linux support for the products they will buy. Period.

[LAP47]

Both the steps in the readme file and something else. I'm going to make a text document of the steps that I took and send it to you but I have to redo it because I tried something else and then ended up breaking the system I think so I'll get back to you once I've done it again successfully and made that document.

Right. I hear you there. Well hopefully they'll find someone else to work with in the future and get rid of that chip.

Thanks. I try to make the drivers here work on as many distros as is feasible. You can imagine how difficult it is so help is needed.

Now you have an idea why I recommend adapters with in-kernel drivers.

[LAP47]

How do you even do that? What's the first step? And what do you do if and when you get to the point that the driver won't work anymore. Here's the text document I made with your steps and the ones that I've added that worked for me. You can obviously edit it to your liking. I didn't know if I was supposed to uninstall the old mismatched kernel headers or not or even how to do that from terminal so that's why I installed synaptic so I could go ahead and do that but it terms out that it wasn't even necessary on a clean install of ubuntu so the only thing that I used it for was to get rid of the not installed residual configs that I guess were left over from the setup process of ubuntu so it's really got nothing to do with the driver installation steps. Do you know how to remove old or mismatched kernels in the terminal? The only reason why I'm using this dongle is because it's the newest one that I've got and it's 802.11ac and I want to use it to use the raspberry pi as a portable hotspot which apparently ubuntu has built in now so this will be connecting to the internet and then the raspberry pi's wifi acts as the wireless hotspot. Otherwise you have to be connected to ethernet and then use the pi's wireless as the hotspot.

I got it to install on MX Linux on the raspberry pi 5 too now but it's got no lights and isn't working. I just uninstalled all of the older kernels and then installed the headers again and then I was able to download the driver's

I just got it working on a fresh install of MX-Linux Respin for Raspberry Pi 5,too. I think that it's because there were no matching headers last night when I tried it but today there was. Kernel 6.6.28+rpt-rpi-2712 and linux-headers-6.6.28+rpt-common-rpi linux-headers-6.6.28+rpt-rpi-2712 Linux-headers-6.6.28+rpt-rpi-v8.

The same method that I used for raspberry pi os/Debian and using the command - sudo apt install-headers-$(uname -r)

Thanks.

Yeah I don't know. I haven't looked at them myself and would have to look at the original ones first I guess before making any judgements. I hope that it helps you get more users or the drivers though.
