Hi,
I am running Armbian Bionic on my Nanopi Neo2 and would like to install the https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au drivers for my Alfa AWUS036ACH. When I choose to compile the dkms modules for the Nanopi Neo2 it fails using this cpu: CONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_SUN50IW1P1. Is this the correct compilation target?

In the Makefile I found two lines:

I assumed that I need the cross compiler from here: http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... ource_Code and then compile the module on a x86_64 cpu, is that correct? Can I compile the module directly on the Nanopi Neo2 as well?

I read the wiki entry and tried to cross compile the module but some errors turned up, are the modules mentioned at http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... ource_Code the right ones to compile this kernel driver?

kind regards,
rhagu

Plug your Alfa.

Those drivers are included in latest Armbian. Just make sure you have latest kernel, 4.19.y

Hi igorp,
thanks for your reply, but before I tried compiling the driver I tried kismet and although I could set the card into monitor mode, there were packets found.

edit: wow, it works with the stretch image no idea what i did to mess it up in the first place. Thanks for the advice
