I would not recommend changing the module name, as only the in-tree kernel modules have the rtl prefix, but if you really, really want to create problems later, for no good reason ...

$ diff Makefile ../rtl8812au/Makefile 
369c369
< MODULE_NAME = rtl8812au
---
> MODULE_NAME = 8812au
391,393c391,393
<           hal/$(RTL871X)/$(HCI_NAME)/$(MODULE_NAME)_led.o \
<           hal/$(RTL871X)/$(HCI_NAME)/$(MODULE_NAME)_xmit.o \
<           hal/$(RTL871X)/$(HCI_NAME)/$(MODULE_NAME)_recv.o

>           hal/$(RTL871X)/$(HCI_NAME)/rtl$(MODULE_NAME)_recv.o

Needless to say I will not be making those changes any time soon. There is no real requirement to 'find all rtl drivers', as they are loaded on demand in any case.

@accensi: my first attempt was not a success. I changed the module name in dkms.conf only, but then there was no module to load. I may need to do further changes in the Makefile themselves. I have to be careful not to break this.

@accensi: this is a good suggestion, I will do this for the other rtl drivers too.

dkms.conf sets module name as BUILT_MODULE_NAME="8812au"

Not a significant point, but you could change that to 'rtl8812au' just to be like other rtl modules and make it easier to find or grep in modules tree.

Thanks

Just pushed a minor revision: bc is now a depends.

<deleted-account> commented on 2018-03-25 10:57 (UTC)

The dkms module fails to build during a kernel update if bc (makedepends) is not installed, please move that to depends

Hey, I'm having an odd situation after kernel upgrade. Now that I'm on 4.15.5-1, I can't build this driver. The error I get is here: https://gist.github.com/nikita2206/47af51eacb937f4993a142f425329b67

I obviously have tried installing libelf but that has no effect at all (the error remains the same), plus it was already installed anyway.

Is there something obvious that I miss? That CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC issue seems to be not very googleable, a few people who had a similar problem seem to have either ignored it or solved it by installing libelf-dev.

I've tried restarting/updating my machine, removing-reinstalling rtl8812au-dkms-git package, to no avail.

EDIT: apparently, reinstalling base-devel fixed it. I may have had a slight disk failure recently, I guess it's not so slight after all...
