RTL8812AU driver and connection issues

I am attempting to use your interface.d method with wpa_supplicant, and get a whole lot of "IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready". HOWEVER, I notice that my wifi adapter is not called wlan0 but is instead wlxFFFFFFFFFF etc dependent on MAC address. So I think the reason my connection is not working is because wlan0 is hard coded into the driver somewhere, while my adapter itself is wlxFFFFFFFF. Would you agree?


wlan0 shouldn't be hard coded anywhere. You can for the time being disable netbios names by editing /etc/default/extlinux and I'm not sure what the command is to make it update the current config so I manually edit /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf for good measure by adding the following on the end of the append line:

Code:
net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0
