(solved) Edimax AC600 USB Not Supported (this repo does not support the 8811au chipset. See: https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708 )

[alexdaversa]

The Edimax AC600 USB adapter (EW-7811UAC) does not appear to be supported by this driver though it is working with the aircrack-ng version. USB ID 7392:a812 Edimax has a driver released on their website https://www.edimax.com/edimax/download/download/data/edimax/us/download/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811uac

Hi @alexdaversa

The Edimax AC600 USB adapter (EW-7811UAC) does not appear to be supported by this driver though it is working with the aircrack-ng version.

The version you speak of does include support for both the 8812au and 8811au. It is based on rather dated source code and I am not aware of the history so I can't address how both chipsets came to be supported in that driver. What I do know is that for the last few year Realtek has release two separate drivers and that is how things are maintained here.

Yes, but you do not want that one as it appears Edimax forgot to update that driver.

The driver you want is:

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

Remember to run sudo ./remove-driver.sh and then delete the directory for this driver... then head on over to the link to the correct driver and enjoy. Let me know how it goes.
