11:30 p.m.
Just got a couple of these devices in.
Plugged it into Fedora 35 machine, and was expecting it
to be automatically detected and setup
dmesg shows (plugged in one port than another).
[191781.962170] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
[191782.092731] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b812, bcdDevice=
2.10
[191782.092746] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[191782.092753] usb 1-4: Product: USB3.0 802.11ac 1200M Adapter
[191782.092759] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Realtek
[191782.092764] usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 123456
[192397.625679] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 4
[192424.141035] usb 8-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[192424.329596] usb 8-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b812, bcdDevice=
2.10
[192424.329609] usb 8-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[192424.329612] usb 8-1: Product: USB3.0 802.11ac 1200M Adapter
[192424.329614] usb 8-1: Manufacturer: Realtek
[192424.329616] usb 8-1: SerialNumber: 123456
The CD that came with it has a linux directory with
8811AUlinux
RTL81888192EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519
RTL8814AU_Linux_v5.8.5.1_35583.20191029
But not sure which one applies to these devices.
Recall an older 2.4Ghz RTL8169 (believe) usb I had and it
also wouldn't work with the included driver. Had to
download source, and build it. Every kernel upgrade
required rebuilding it again and again.
Sent message to seller, to try and get more info.
Thanks.

I got one of those working for a while, but it is a disaster to keep working.
Every few kernel versions it stops working and you have to find fixed
code and download and compile it to get it working again. Then a few
kernels later it happens again. When it worked it worked better that
the original card in the laptop, but it was time consuming to fixed it
every few kernel updates.
Your best bet is to simply replace the wifi card on the laptop with
one of the newer ones (that is what I did). Depending on your laptop
that should be possible. I replaced mine with an intel ax200 card and
it has just worked since I replaced it. You may have to read the
reviews on the cards to determine if others have used the card in a
laptop like yours. There are gray market cards on amazon for around
$22. My laptop is a 2016 model. You will have to do some research
to figure out if a ax200 or newer will plug into your laptop.

5GHz requires more attention to things like radio frequency interference
RFI),
e.g., better shielding and changes to routing of cables . If the laptop
was never
sold with 5ghz internal wifi, there could be issues such as radio frequency
interference affecting other subsystems. You might be able to look for
changes
in teardown images to the antenna system if a newer version of the same
model
is offered with internal 5GHz wifi.

First, Thanks for the reply and info.
I'm using these in 4 desktop machines that don't have wifi
at all.
Found a number of drivers that failed to compile at all,
but found RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver-master.zip at
https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver/branches
and it compiles with no real issues (some warnings pop
up, but no errors).
Do the make and then make install then devices are seen.
Did find have to make the device available for all users,
or it wouldn't activate automatically or have other than
root be able to connect it. Seems to work fine so far.
Haven't had a kernel upgrade since installing, but would
be under the impression that a kernel upgrade would
require a rebuild and reinstall in the new kernel
directory??
Just got a new router that had 5G, but has a different
public IP than my 2.4G one.
Thanks again.

Yes, recompile and reinstall, but every few kernel versions you will likely
need to find updated code. It makes any out of tree driver a no go unless
the code is being updated. Each time it broke finding new code required
checking to see it was fixed and if not hopefully finding one that is
fixed. It was a major hassle. An in kernel supported pci card would be
much easier and or a real network connection support wise.

Just had a kernel upgrade for Linux machines, so updated
the 4 machines with the USB devices.
1. No wifi after boot since kernel didn't have the driver.
2. changed to directory with build (checked and show it
was updated 12 days ago, so seems to be active update)
3. Ran
make -j 8; make install; modprobe 88x2bu
4. All build and install fine, and wifi went active again.
Some of the other links I found had failed to build with
terminal errors. On actually had a link to ipx.h file, which
a search found it in older kernel src directory, but was no
longer in the current one.
So, seems to require what I expected.
Recall long ago, had a Linux server at College running
Redhat 9 I believe. It had 9 ethernet ports. One connected
to the Colleges 100M backbone that was running 3 Class
C networks. The other 8 ports connected to 8 different
classrooms giving each a 100M link to server. Had squid
running and was getting 40% cache hit ratio. Rest of
campus had like 900 machines all running directly off
backbone?? Interesting in labs running windows,
machines on the different class Cs could see each other
with windows shares? Wasn't my job, and MIS would or
didn't care. Every other machine had public IPs. Had 2
Novell Servers with Public IPs, and Linux Box, and a
Unixware box. But everything else was private behind
firewalls. Long ago. Retired now..
So, upgrade only took few minutes to build and install.
Thanks.
