What changes did you make to get it working? I'd like to incorporate improvements.
Basically, I made sure to do build essentials, install python, updated did a sudo apt-get update
Then I ran the package using dpkg -i <name>.deb.
I rebuilt the .ko, which went fine, but DEPMOD didn't link properly or for some reason the .ko wasn't placed in /lib/modules/<uname -r>
so I used insmod and inserted it from file. Then it loaded up, I plugged in the rtl8812au and tested it, it works.
Thanks. I think the process is pretty clear, I am just not very experienced with linux kernel. I think with your help it was pretty straightforward
