Target Devices

Adapters with chipset: RTL8811AU, RTL8812AU (RTL8814AU have a separate driver now.)

Driver Information

Developed internally by Realtek, and then patched by open community members.

This drivers is not mainlined (might never will be, from the look of it), so you’ll be loading a self-compiled out-of-tree kernel module. If you are running on a system using UEFISecure Boot, you may need to either disable Secure Boot or sign the kernel module before you can load it. (We won’t cover that here.)

To check the status of Secure Boot, run

Output will be one of the following:

Rtl8811au Macos Driver

• SecureBoot enabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot enabled
• SecureBoot disabled — using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled
• EFI variables are not supported on this system — not using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled

Driver Installation

Kali Linux

For those who are running Kali Linux ARM Image on Raspberry Pi, the driver should be installed already.

For x86 users, install package realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms.

Parrot OS

Security edition has package realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms installed by default. If this is not the case, follow the same instructions above for Kali Linux.

Debian and Its Derivatives (on x86, x86_64 Platforms)

Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, elementary OS, etc.

APT is able to install local deb file since version 1.1 — we can use that to install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms from Kali.

Find the latest deb packages from Kali’s repository. realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms depends on realtek-rtl8814au-dkms since 25th of May 2021, so we’ll get deb files of these two.

At the time of writing/updating, the latest ones are:

Rtl8811au Driver (mac_os_x.zip) 1.0.0

Although not tested, some distros should be able to perform the whole process in GUI — download deb files through browser and double-click to install. (Install realtek-rtl8814au-dkms first, then realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms.)

Fedora

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

CentOS

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Arch Linux

These instructions are expansions of

If you’re not using the default kernel, package linux-headers should be changed respectively. Say you’re using LTS kernel, the command would then be

Note that because the kernel module is built with DKMS you should ensure you have installed and rebooted to latest kernel update before installing.

Appendices

Getting package URI

In case that repository URL changes in the future, spin up a Kali VM or even a Docker container, and run

Monitor, Injection Support

Your miles may vary on distros other than Kali, which is specifically tweaked for pentesting.

Hi,

Just purchased a 802.11ac USB dongle which has a RTL8811AU chip (printed on packaging and detected in Windows 10 as such). When installed in my Pi 2 w/OSMC July 2017.07-1, I can connect to my router, however each time I reboot I have to go back to the Wifi GUI and re-enter my details. When I looked at dmsg it seemed to show it’s picked up as 8812AU and is assigning a random MAC address each time I reboot (Note: Windows 10 shows a valid MAC address when it’s detected as a RTL8811AU)

If I type ls -al /var/lib/connman I can see multiple entries for the WiFi, which corrospond to each time I re-entered the WiFi config, each with a different MAC address.
