Driver Fails to be installed on nv_nano #8

Closed gyillikci closed 3 years ago

Hello Vasily,

Thanks for the repo firstly,

I am struggling to make the driver work on jetson nano.I modiefed the Makefile as:

CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n . . . CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_NV_NANO = y and installed it by sudo make install.

when I plug the AC56 and dmesg, i see that the driver is already registered seen below: 6.314813] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Falling back to user helper [ 6.328989] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl8812au [ 6.399248] 8812au: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

On jetson, there are two kernels: 4.15.0-144-generic 4.9.201-tegra

My problem is when I run sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor I get command failed: Operation not supported (-95) I am not sure how the driver mechanism works but, couldnt find out the cause. Can you help on this issue?

Best,

Giray

It seems that old driver already loaded. Try to do find /lib/modules -name 8812 or find /lib/modules -iname 88XX, remove them and rebuild initramfs
