OpenWrt kernel driver for RTW8812AU, RTW8821AU, RTW8811AU, RTW8822BU, RTW8812BU, RTW8822CU, RTW8821CU, RTW8811CU, RTW8723DU
Installation:
- Download the SDK for your device
- Update the package feeds: ./scripts/feeds update -a ; ./scripts/feeds install -a (see: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/using_the_sdk for information on using the SDK)
- Run make menuconfig
- Clone this repository in package/kernel/rtw88. Specify the desired branch with -b branch: git clone -b 23.05 https://github.com/henkv1/rtw88-usb-openwrt.git package/kernel/rtw88-usb
- Compile the package: make package/rtw88-usb/compile
The firmware package is named rtw88-firmware* and you can find it in the bin/packages/architecture/base/ directory. The kernel module package is named kmod-rtw88-usb_* and you can find it in the bin/target/architecture/model/packages/ directory. You can copy both packages to your device and install it using opkg install package.
Please note that you need to install both packages for your device to make the module work.
NOTE: This package makes use of the 'unofficial' RTW88 development tree https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88. I noticed an issue with the connection speed using this version on at least RTL88x2BU and RTL88x1CU. So I created a separate package for these adapters based on the wireless-next code.
