Wireless RealTek drivers for rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
Hello Debian Support team,
QUESTION...
Please can you tell me whether the RealTek drivers for
rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux, can be approved for Debian, so Tails is able to
work with this fast wireless dongle?
--------------------------------------------------------------
I have just purchased the latest wireless dongle from CoredyTech..
This is Coredy's web page for drivers, including Linux.

With a lot of help from a neighbour we eventually got it working with
Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, and Debian 'Jessie' with the instructions and
command lines, from this site, not the cd rom!

COMMAND LINES...
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
An interesting observation, it uses
13.4 MB installed in Ubuntu and
106.7 MB installed in Debian.
It works first time, everytime time in Debian, and is erratic connecting
to a wireless connection in Ubuntu, but once connected works fine.
Yours sincerely
Seb
