I've applied, but it would be good to see if this package could replace the existing rtl8821au package. Also, I'm confused about the naming: rtl8812au vs. rtl8821au. Are they for the same hardware ? I wish there was more effort to push such drivers in the upstream kernel... Best regards, Thomas

If I remember right the rtl8821au did work (better) for the AP/Station case...but did not re-test as my interest/use-case (at the moment for the alfa card) is IBSS and monitor-mode... > > Also, I'm confused about the naming: rtl8812au vs. rtl8821au.
