Out of curiosity, which rtl8814 exactly, what adapter do you have?siamhie wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 12:16 pm Installation went smooth with no issues. Installed my rtl8814 drivers and emby-server from HDD.
I came across three developers on GitHub releasing the Nighthawk drivers and chose Aircrack-ng's driver because it seems his/hers is the most recent release.SwampRabbit wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 12:28 pmOut of curiosity, which rtl8814 exactly, what adapter do you have?siamhie wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 12:16 pm Installation went smooth with no issues.

I want to tighten up our rtl packages a bit in the coming weeks.
Edit: duh NetGear Nighthawk A7000
Which one/ones would you recommend? Will you have the rtl8814 available by final release time?SwampRabbit wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 12:57 pm @siamhie thanks, I try to avoid the aircrack ones if possible, but good to know that one works.
Usually anything without frame injection, promiscuous mode, that kind of stuff. Also ones that support as many kernels as possible and are known to be very stable with as many adapters as possible. I don't want to update something like this constantly when new kernels come out and it should work on normal MX and AHS OOTB.siamhie wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 1:00 pm Which one/ones would you recommend?

Take your time. I have my copy that will work (rtl8814au-5.8.5.1) and I'm not sure if there are other members that run this dongle or require this particular driver, so it's perfectly fine if it doesn't make it to Final.SwampRabbit wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 7:36 pmUsually anything without frame injection, promiscuous mode, that kind of stuff.

I looked quick the aircrack one has patches waiting to be pulled in order to build on kernels >=5.12, so I'll grab that and get to it as soon as I can, but its gonna be awhile... but more than enough time for final release.
OK, I can do that. I'm dual booting Fluxbox/KDE, so when I install the driver on a new install, I copy that folder (sits on a spare HDD) to each OS and run make then make dkms_install. I can just run make dkms_remove and try the new one.SwampRabbit wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:30 pm @siamhie based on the potential timeline for maybe another Beta, RC, and Final... we have more than enough time to get it into Final.
I'm just busy away from home all next week and I'd like to verify the package with you (at least) cause you can test it. Its really not KDE specific... so lets follow up later outside of this thread once I get it packaged.
Approximately when do you guys expect to have an RC ready or a final release? I'm so impatient for MX 21. This is the real Windows 11 for me pretty much.SwampRabbit wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:30 pm @siamhie based on the potential timeline for maybe another Beta, RC, and Final... we have more than enough time to get it into Final.
