Thanks poma, I missed this info when I looked yesterday morning. Its
looking like I'm going to have to go back to my N pci wireless card that
is using the ATH9K driver as the rtl8812AU driver you pointed me at on
git seems to be frequently crashing the kernel (I get frequent kernel
core abends that can't be reported because the kernel is tainted). It
may be coincidence but when immediately after the kernel issue the wifi
interface activates I'm assuming its that driver that caused the issue.
You can always try to contact the original manufacturer of hardware and retailer of the
same.
You can also try to find patches for the current kernel:
This does not guarantee that the device will actually work,
this is just the best effort from users just like you. ;)
Try this
$ git clone
$ cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux/
$ git log -1
