pavel81 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hi, RTL811AU wifi dongle has different wlan number each time it is plugged in or system started. It has different MAC as well. Numbers after wlan corresponds to attached MAC addresses. my sysem is OrangepiPC with development kernel.

I remember that there was an issue with Network Manager and Wi-Fi MAC addresses on Stretch (and other more recent distros) that should be solved in the meantime. You might want to start reading from here. Besides that how does the output from the following look like? modinfo 8812au | grep rtm_initmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used next kernel, not development. If I use development kernel the wifi dongle is not identified, because there are not patches adding the 8812au driver. 16 hours ago, tkaiser said: modinfo 8812au | grep rtm_initmac this gives no

We use this source https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au updated 7 days ago while they did some change after. Try this way - blacklist driver in the kernel, install headers and build from recent sources.

If I add 8812au to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf it will install neither new driver. I have to write insmod 8812au.ko after start and then it works, but I can deal with this. I can build new source with disabled 8812AU module and build from aircrack source. Thank you for your support and if you want me to try something more just let me know.

I'll update the driver in kernel once they stop fiddling around. Currently, there are changes on daily basis. I already thought to link sources directly ... rather not.
