If you’re using your USB device in a virtual machine, see also Pitfalls Using USB Devices in Virtual Machines.

Target Devices

There are various methods to install Brother Linux Drivers. The Driver Install Tool allows you to download one file to install printer drivers and scanner drivers for compatible models. Network users must first connect your machine to your network before installing the software. Refer to the steps based on your connection method. Linux Drivers free download - CopyTrans Drivers Installer, Adaptec ASPI Drivers, My Drivers, and many more programs. The Linux Wacom Project manages the drivers, libraries, and documentation for configuring and running Wacom tablets under the Linux operating system. Our drivers are pre-installed in many major distributions and provide out-of-the box support for a wide variety of Wacom tablets and TabletPCs. Below is an alphabetically sorted list of existent Linux drivers and their current capabilities. See also: Linux wireless drivers in Wikipedia. NOTE: All drivers can of course run in station mode, but only a few drivers support the other available wireless modes! Support of cfg80211 also offers benefits.

Adapters with chipset: RTL8811AU, RTL8812AU (RTL8814AU have a separate driver now.)

Driver Information

Developed internally by Realtek, and then patched by open community members.

This drivers is not mainlined (might never will be, from the look of it), so you’ll be loading a self-compiled out-of-tree kernel module. If you are running on a system using UEFISecure Boot, you may need to either disable Secure Boot or sign the kernel module before you can load it. (We won’t cover that here.)

To check the status of Secure Boot, run

Check Secure Boot Status

Output will be one of the following:

  • SecureBoot enabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot enabled
  • SecureBoot disabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled
  • EFI variables are not supported on this system — not using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled

Driver Installation

Kali Linux

For those who are running Kali Linux ARM Image on Raspberry Pi, the driver should be installed already.

For x86 users, install package realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms.

Install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

wget https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/contrib/r/realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms/realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20210118-0kali1_all.deb
sudo apt install./realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20210118-0kali1_all.deb

Although not tested, some distros should be able to perform the whole process in GUI — download deb package through browser and double-click to install.

Fedora

Install Build Dependencies

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Install aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
sudo pacman-Syu--needed base-devel git dkms linux-headers

If you’re not using the default kernel, package linux-headers should be changed respectively. Say you’re using LTS kernel, the command would then be

Install Build Dependencies (LTS Kernel)

sudo apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

Parrot OS

Security edition has package realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms installed by default. If this is not the case, follow the same instructions above for Kali Linux.

Debian and Its Derivatives (on x86, x86_64 Platforms)

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, elementary OS, etc.

APT is able to install local deb file since version 1.1 — we can use that to install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms from Kali.

First, find the latest realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms deb package from Kali’s repository.

At the time of writing/updating, the latest one is realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms_5.6.4.2~git20210118-0kali1_all.deb.

Download and Install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
