RTL8814au support

[Dan C]

Hello,

 

More of an FYI for anyone else hitting the same issue.

 

Booted my board up for the first time in a year or two, wifi working fine but then  sudo update && sudo dist-upgrade && shutdown -r now

Now wifi does not work on the new kernel 5.10.  Seems the 8812au driver which has morphed into 88XXau  but XX no longer includes 14.   Instead there's a new driver

 

 

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8814au.git
apt install build-essential linux-headers-current-rockchip64
ARCH=arm64 make dkms_install
modprobe 8814au

 

Now wifi works again

Maybe armbian should include the rtl8814au driver like it does the rtl8812au/88xxau driver so it all works out of the box again?

If somebody is willing to provide a PR that makes necessary changes sure thing.
