I don't like re-inventing the wheel but was unable to find a driver that was built for the RTL8812AU adaper in the store, I bought one, mainly for 5GHz band as well as 2.4 it does not work out of the box on the artful build (ayufan's) since he is one of the main kernel grinders, I looked there first... did not see anything, for the RTL8812AU. I was plenty of questions, but no working solutions... so.. did some digging, most driver code is a base, as drivers are added, and just functions are added or adapted, rarely is a whole driver written if a similar one exists.
Maybe next attempt will be AP mode for this...
I have several different versions of the rtl8812au drivers on my server that utilise DKMS files, which means any time you upgrade to a different kernel it will rebuild rather than needing different binaries...
As for HostAPD, I have that working as well in AC mode, as far as I can tell. To make it easier for people I updated ayufan's Debian stretch minimal image to turn a rock64 into a router.
Thanks for advising where you have them, I may check them out.
