**8822BU for Linux**
Driver for 802.11ac USB Adapter with
RTL8822BU chipset
Only STA/Monitor Mode is supported, no AP.
A few known wireless cards that use this driver include
* [Edimax EW-7822ULC](http://us.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/us/wireless_adapters_ac1200_dual-band/ew-7822ulc/)
* [ASUS AC-53 NANO](https://www.asus.com/Networking/USB-AC53-Nano/)
> NOTE: At least v4.7 is needed to compile this module
> sorry people with older kernels, the code is removed.
> Upon request I can work towards making it backwards compatible.
Currently tested on X86_64 and ARM platform(s) **only**,
cross compile possible.
For compiling type
`make`
in source dir
To install the firmware files
`sudo make install`
To Unload driver you may need to disconnect the device
If the driver fails building consult your distro how to
install the kernel sources and build an external module.
**NOTES**
This driver allows use of wpa_supplicant by using the nl80211 driver
`wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211`
If installing on Rasberry Pi or other "armv71" devices, edit the Makefile and set `CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y` and `CONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n`
**STATUS**
Driver works fine (some sort of)
Most of the work is done is cleaning the driver and make this mess **readable** for conversion.
Updates for wireless-ext/cfg80211 are not accepted.
