How do I install driver for a RTL8812AU wifi USB adapter?

Thanks again Tom. I’ll give it another go tomorrow.

If you would like for ELRepo to make a kmod driver package, I can do it pretty easily.

Please make a feature request at ELRepo Bugs.

@pjd You can skip the ELRepo Bugs feature request. I just went ahead and made the kmod package since I have that same Realtek Wireless-AC USB adapter to test it.

All you need to do is:
sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf install elrepo-release
sudo dnf install kmod-rtw88_usb
reboot

@tghoang Thanks so much; your solution works! I’ll test for a while and let you know if I run into any issues. Thanks again!

FYI - I pushed out a new kmod-rtw88_usb that adds additional device support from the mainline Linux kernel. No functionality changes from the original build.

@tqhoang Thanks for that! … but how do I install your updated version of kmod-rtw88 ?

@pjd - You’ll get it as part of the next system updates or you can force an update using DNF.

Ex: sudo dnf update
