Drivers for RTL8812AU wifi chipset

Post by Ahmed_barakat » 2017/08/17 13:53:28

Hi
I am planing on purchasing a wifi usb dongle that has the RTL8812AU chipset, it has a Linux driver and it was tested on Ubuntu Miint and Debian, I was wondering if anyone has experience running it on Centos 7.

This viewtopic.php?f=50&t=63769 says it doesn't work.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Thanks for the reply, very appreciated, I dropped that and ordered a Panda Wireless PAU09 n600, their website said it should support Centos.
