If I can be of any help in testing, don't hesitate to ask.Alright. This is me asking.
When you install, is it clear what you have to do to turn USB3 mode on?
You can check the usb mode with:
Humm, actually I did it because I knew I had to do it given on my previous (numerous) tests with the 1.15 firmware. I also have had a rtl8812bu adapter for some time, which also gave me some hard time, and wasn't performing OK in USB3 mode at all. So one of the first things I did when I got the 8852bu adapter and faced performances issues was to test in USB2 or USB3 mode. USB3 is working nicely with the 8852bu.
The comments in the provided conf file are clear enough IMHO.
On a side note, maybe you could add in the documentation that we may want to set up the default editor before launching the script ?

Also, I need you to test updating the driver. Go to the driver directory in a terminal:
$ git pull $ sudo sh install-driver.sh
...and let me know if everything works and is understandable.
So, it works very well, I thing I even get higher bandwidth (with Wifi 5 for the time being).
However, I had to manually remove the driver from DKMS to be able to install the update.
sudo ./remove-driver.sh

Progress Log:
List of things that appear to be broken or unfinished:
ToDo:
Help is welcome.
Note: There are a massive amount of additions and changes from the WiFi 5 class Realtek out-of-kernel drivers.
Summary: Managed mode appears to be solid. Monitor mode and AP mode have had minimal testing so the status is mostly unknown, Monitor mode may not work as desired in all situations but that is true of almost all Realtek out-of-kernel drivers. I think this is a driver that can be released to the public but the driver appears to still be in development by Realtek and is fragile right now.
