RTL8812AU driver and connection issues

[pane]

Hi All,

I managed to get the RTL8812AU driver working with the help of evilbunny. However, I am having connection issues, and power saving issues.

Power save issues seem to occur when the driver is not connecting to wifi. Fair enough, but when I use nmtui to connect to the wifi, my gui gets spammed with the "nolinked power save leave/enter" messages. It would be nice if there was a way to disable this either in startup or the driver itself.

Additionally, is there a process which works better than others for connections? I am unable to connect to networks 95% of the time with nmtui. Would anyone advocate for using wpa_supplicant or something else entirely for stable connections?

Thanks for your time

You can disable the power saving mode by editing the Makefile and turning power saving off

CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n


Then recompile etc.

Thanks evilbunny I will recompile, I found that the output stream from power saving would spam the SSID key box in nmtui. What is your preferred process for connecting to networks? I have had limited success with nmtui - do you use wpa_supplicant or something else to reliably connect to networks?

Thanks
