Hi, just found that the project which the source forked from added the support to kernel 4.19.
https://github.com/tpircher/rtl8814AU
I changed the download source and the folder name to rtl8814AU and it works.

Hi,
I failed to install this driver on kernel 4.19. It showed the error message:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.19.0-2-MANJARO (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/4.3.21.r34.ga0c4479/build/make.log for more information.
However, there is no such a log file.

Looking at the comments on Github aircrack, there seem to be some limitations with 5.3.4, the biggest one being the lack of VHT support and maximum speed of 150 Mb/s. Let's wait a bit before packaging it.

Interesting, looks like an evolution of 5.2.20 and that they have integrated aircrack injection code. Possibly the future for all rtl8812/14/21 series?

Unfortunately I cannot help due to the fact I do not own a 8814au device. As you write, you would need some metrics. But you may notice some bugs being removed (disconnection, etc.). Finally, there may be some security fixes/enhancements that are not visible.

For sure I can test it, but why should I? I mean, even with rtl8812au-aircrack-dkms-git, the only thing I noticed is lower ping (3ms instead of 4ms with your driver. How can I validate it works "better"? :)

In addition, on the Edimax website, there is a EW-7833UAC_Linux_Driver_1.0.1.0.zip file which decompresses as rtl8814AU_linux_v4.3.21.1_20171108.tar.gz. This is the same version number than for the TP-link, but the timestamp changes by 9 days. I did a quick comparison with T9UH_linux_v4.3.21.1_24835.20171031.zip and indeed they are almost identical. The Edimax archive has an Edimax specific entry while the TP-link has, as expected, its own specific T9UH UIDs. Thus vendors only adapt the code to their adapter names, that's all. Otherwise the rest of code is mostly the same. This shows how Realtek just provides boiler plates to vendors that make their own archives, hence the mess. That said, it is probably worth trying v4.3.21.1 over v4.3.21 as it may have upstream corrections from Realtek.

I did further searches, and found out this version: T9UH_linux_v4.3.21.1_24835.20171031.zip from https://www.tp-link.com/us/download/Archer-T9UH.html#Driver. Just found out that it is available in Github with kernel patches there: https://github.com/coolshou/rtl8814au or https://github.com/francoism90/rtl8814au. Worth a try maybe? Do you want to try this code base and report? If they do work and fix bugs then it could be worth using them.

To all having an issue with this driver: please try these alternate packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw88-dkms-git or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git.
