Hi @BPCDoug

Sorry for the delay. I have been very busy. Do you still need help?

I'm getting this same error, any fix?

Hi @Vspoke91

Let me suggest an alternative. Uninstall this driver:

$ sudo sh remove-driver.sh

Then go into the following issue and read the first message:

https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708/issues/133

We have been working on a new driver that can be upstreaming into Linux mainline. Try it. The installation is different than this repo so read the installation instructions.

Good luck

AAA can you maybe add something to your main page to let people know this? I got this working a long time ago for mint, (can't remember which repo) and now need or for kali. I have been struggling for days. Thank you guys for all your hard work!

The very first line of the README.md already does this.
