3. Downloading Realtek rtl8821AU Driver
(Bewilderment can arise because this setup is making use of the rtl8812AU Code)
Download Realtek rtl8821AU Driver in Mint GNU/LinuxOr better Clone it with Git.
Especially relevant: in the New Posts Revision I have included a greate Alternative to the default gnab Driver.
So, in case of the aircrack-ng choice then follow the Github Developer Documentation to setup it.
Especially relevant: the Aircrack-ng release include support for “Monitor mode” and “Frame injection“! -
4. Extracting Realtek rtl8821AU Driver
And then Extract Driver Archive into /tmp
(Skip in case of Git Checkout)
Possibly Double-Click/Right-Click on Package and Open with Archive Manager:
Or from Command Line:unzip -d /tmp/ ~/Downloads/*master.zip
