When will Ubuntu have these drivers available for download? Seems the Drivers for DWA-182 were released on 06/17/2014. They are for Linux! However, I just don't know how to install them and I have them download, extract but I can't get them to INSTALL.

I am newbie with Ubuntu and if someone could guide me on this will be great!

There is a Linux Driver only for hardware revision C and it includes an install script install.sh. You can download the archive and try to install it.

Install the prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic

Unarchive it, then cd to the directory you extracted in and:

chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

    Please note that to compile this, you will first need to install prerequisites build-essential and linux-headers-generic.

  • I tested this out on Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela but I couldn't get it to work. I detailed my pain and suffering here: forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=213052 Jan 4, 2016 at 4:08

Cornelius's answer didn't work for me on Linux Mint 17.2.

This did work though:

cd <somewhere reasonable>
git clone https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/
make clean
make
sudo make uninstall
sudo make install

Running the above commands probably requires some other packages. These would probably be a good start:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install git

Caution: I have no idea if this git repo is reliable, not full of spyware, etc. Use at your own risk.
