If you are compiling for something other than an intel x86 architecture, you need to first select the platform, e.g. for the Raspberry Pi, you need to set the I386 to n and the ARM_RPI to y:\n```sh\n...\nCONFIG_PLATFORM_I386_PC = n\n...\nCONFIG_PLATFORM_ARM_RPI = y\n```\n\nThere are many other platforms supported and some other advanced options, e.g. PCI instead of USB, but most won't be needed.\n\nThe driver is built by running `make`, and can be tested by loading the\nbuilt module using `insmod`:\n\n```sh\n$ make\n$ sudo insmod 8812au.ko\n```\n\nAfter loading the module, a wireless network interface named __Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter__ should be available.\n\n### Installing\n\nInstalling the driver is simply a matter of copying the built module\ninto the correct location and updating module dependencies using `depmod`:\n\n```sh\n$ sudo cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless\n$ sudo depmod\n```\n\nThe driver module should now be loaded automatically.\n\n### DKMS\n\nAutomatically rebuilds and installs on kernel updates. DKMS is in official sources of Ubuntu, for installation do:\n\n```sh\n$ sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms \n```\n\nInstall the driver to DKMS with:\n```sh\nsudo make dkms_install\n```\n\nAutomatically load at boot:\n```sh\n$ echo 8812au | sudo tee -a /etc/modules\n```\n\nEventually remove from DKMS with:\n```sh\n$ sudo make dkms_remove\n```\n\n### References\n\n- D-Link DWA-171\n  - [D-Link page](http://www.dlink.com/no/nb/home-solutions/connect/adapters/dwa-171-wireless-ac-dual-band-usb-adapter)\n  - [wikidevi page](http://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-171_rev_A1)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgnab%2Frtl8812au","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgnab%2Frtl8812au","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgnab%2Frtl8812au/lists"}
