RTL8812AU driver and connection issues

[pane]

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?

I use network manager when I use a gui, but use /etc/network/interfaces.d/ on headless systems.

# cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0

Code:

auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
       ssid="myaccesspoint"
       psk="mypassword"
}

Thanks for that evilbunny, your advice is always helpful - I consider my issue solved now, I will use wpa_supplicant then instead of nmtui as I am using headless debian

Hi evilbunny - have finally found the time to try this rock64 stuff again - I am still having trouble with connecting to wifi using the rtl8812au driver. 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?
