You need to figure out what chipset is inside before we can even tell if it's supported. There are a few chipset supported in the kernel such as RALink, Broadcom, Intel, Realtek.

The wifi USB adapter is called 

TP-LINK Archer T2U Nano

 


RTL8811AU;RMC, RTL8811AU, 1227H5 G107.                                                                                      With those chipsets 

Hope that helps 


from oliver.

I checked the kernel configuration for 4.19 in 7 R4 which is the same kernel for 9.0 R2 and I don't see 8811AU as supported. Looking at some of the online searches, you may need to download the driver source file and compile it yourself. People have done it for 5.x kernel and did post a repo of the driver.

Just to make sure do I do this 5

For Kernel version 5 and above use this repo

Follow the instructions in the readme it's really easy!

To sum things up:

git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
cd ./rtl8812au
make

Check if the driver compiled properly and works:

sudo insmod 8812au.ko

Install:

sudo cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
sudo depmod

That instruction won't work or at least I never got it to work. What I did with RTL8723BS is to check out the code to a folder locally, copy it over to the driver folder and modify the Kconfig and Makefile. Run the kernel configuration, compile, copy the resulting ko driver file over to the Android device and use modprobe to install it. See my last post in this thread, the process would be similar.

For the driver for mine.


Guide because I don’t want to go wrong.

You don't type in the commands in the Android device. You need a Linux machine or VM to compile the driver. Sounds like you don't know enough to do that. I could try compiling it for you but you need to confirm which kernel version you're running for 9.0 R2. Download a file manager like Solid Explorer or go into Terminal Emulator on the Android device and navigate to /System/Lib/Modules and tell me if you see a folder that looks like "4.19.122-android. The digits refers to the Kernel version.

Ok let me double check my build VM after work and see if it's the same version. If so I can attempt a driver build. No promises since I'm pretty new at this.

Looks like I can't just dump the files into the kernel driver directory, configure the kernel, and compile. Can someone review this document and see if it's possible to integrate with Android X-86?

I don't have the device so I have no way of testing those instructions in the PDF. Second, even if I build an ISO, I don't know where I can get free distribution of something over 800MB.
