Driver for the Edimax EW7833UAC (AC1750 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi USB 3.0 Adapter) and other adapters using the same Realtek chipset. Modified from the original source code for Linux kernels up to 4.8 with DKMS support.

DKMS is a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated. To make use of DKMS, install the dkms package, which on Debian (based) systems is done like this:

# apt-get install dkms

Where '#' denotes that it should be executed as root or with sudo, but don't type that character.

To make use of the DKMS feature with this project, do the following:

# DRV_NAME=rtl8814AU
# DRV_VERSION=4.3.21
# mkdir /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}
# git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}
# dkms add -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
# dkms build -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}
# dkms install -m ${DRV_NAME} -v ${DRV_VERSION}

Whereby it is assumed you're in the cloned project directory and the current branch is driver-4.3.21 (the default). If you want to use another driver version, adjust DRV_VERSION accordingly.

If you later on want to remove it again, do the following:

# DRV_NAME=rtl8814AU
# DRV_VERSION=4.3.21
# dkms remove ${DRV_NAME}/${DRV_VERSION} --all
