I just bought a USB-AC56 Asus dual-band wirless-ac 1300 adapter. It works out of the box for Windows. But on Ubuntu you need to install the drivers.
the output of lsusb relevant to the adapter:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0b05:17d2 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. USB-AC56 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8812AU]
I was told by Asus to use the following: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/wireless/USB-AC56/DR_USB_AC56_425_Linux.zip. How do I install the drivers? Asus gives no further instructions besides the link nor a way to uninstall.
I also read that the following github project might work better: https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU
Are these drivers better? Are they even the right one? I don't want to install something that I cannot undo. Does anyone know how to uninstall the dkms package?
Is this correct?
$ DRV_NAME=rtl8812AU
$ DRV_VERSION=4.3.20
$ sudo dkms remove ${DRV_NAME}/${DRV_VERSION} --all
Please help verify what needs to be done for us all!
