Hello I am testing the RTL8812AU device on 4.14 kernel in IBSS mode. Beacon handing seems ok and we can create/join the IBSS network with this driver. However we have noticed that multicast/broadcast data reception is failing which causes issues. Unicast processing seems to be working correctly. The IBSS behaved well on 4.3 version of the 8812AU driver.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Regards
Arthur
@gordboy It turned out that it was my mistake. Apologies. https://github.com/zebulon2/rtl8812au-driver-5.2.20/commit/f92c90364f21a7d9ea2d38ea85bb9d6287111a6f was missing in my local copy. That one contains the fix for my issue. It works fine now. Thanks for your support!
@gordboy: thanks a lot for your notification and your swiftness. Just merged the change. As usual, please notify me issues or directly to the concerned Github repos.
UPDATE
There was an issue with the latest kernel 4.20-rc2 just today which has now been fixed upstream, by a very fine and able maintainer :)
Only the very latest kernel was affected, and 4.19 has been working nicely since the last fix went in at 4.19-rc1.
@zebulon If you are still tracking 5.2.20.2, you would be advised to pull the latest commit, before the hordes arrive complaining about the latest kernel ...
@moething
Can you provide more details of your difficulties, including any error messages. That way someone might be able to help you.
Simply stating the build is broken is not really all that helpful.
This driver has been tested extensively by the current maintainer, and the OpenSUSE developers.
The (upstream) build is most assuredly not broken with any current kernel ... yet :)
Seems the build is currently broken with Linux 4.19.1.
@zebulon: definitely!
As a follow up, I am still monitoring the state of the 5.3.4 driver. A lot of work has been done by aircrack-ng group on Github and a lot of fixes and enhancements have been pushed in the last few weeks. Should we give it a go?
@maarroyo: Would be useful if you were more specific about the build issue you are having. Check your build logs and copy the error message. Check your kernel sources are installed for both kernels. I have both the "default" kernel (as of writing 4.18.12.arch1-1) and linux-ck from the AUR and it compiles correctly for both kernels. It has been compiling for the Archlinux stock kernel for a while.
I have the default kernel and LTS versions on my system. However, this only seems to build the module for 4.14 LTS. Is this a limitation of the driver or the PKGBUILD?
