# rtl8811au driver for recent version of ubuntu
# Realtek RTL8811AU driver for recent version of ubuntu

This repo contains a driver originally called `rtl8821AU_linux_v4.3.14_13455.20150212_BTCOEX20150128-51` with additional patches to get it to build on Ubuntu xenial 16.04.

I originally got the source code off a cd that came with [this usb wifi adapter](https://www.amazon.com/Heiyo-Network-600Mbps-802-11ac-Wireless/dp/B01N2NJFPG).

I tested on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with kernel 4.4.0-64-generic using a "Heiyo Network Wi-Fi Dongle 802.11ac"
This driver have been tested on:

* Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with kernel 4.4.0-64-generic using a "Heiyo Network Wi-Fi Dongle 802.11ac"
* Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS with kernel 4.10.0-32-generic using a "NetGear, Inc. A6100 AC600 DB Wireless Adapter"

On kernel 4.4 I get a build error complaining about this function being redefined. Looks like kernel 4.10 has a header with a macro that defines this function. Would you mind changing the patch to remove this function, and add an #include <linux/compat.h> instead?

{
return in_ia32_syscall() || in_x32_syscall();
}
