This repo is also interesting:

Rewrite RTL 8812 driver
https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au

even has firmwares:
$ ls rtl8821au/firmware/
rtl8812aufw.bin  rtl8821aufw.bin

make produces:
... error: macro "__DATE__"
... error: macro "__TIME__"

Classic! :)


Must be the ubiquitous Realtek RTL8812AU USB 3.0 802.11ac chipset is really popular.
