Damn, we may well have been wasting time because we didn't research well
enough to start with... You'd think I'd know better than that by now but
never mind.
Ok, proper solution #take2:
Let's dump out the old driver entirely, it's not working:
sudo dkms remove -m 8812au -v 4.2.2 --all
Following more up to date information from this year and inline with my
own advice about using injection-capable hacked up drivers instead let's
crib from here:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1042310/install-driver-rtl8814au-on-ubuntu-18-04
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=55348&sid=4b730bff9198f5203bcde57b11d90424&start=10#p552025
Presuming you're working in /home/Julian/SRC remove or delete the old
rtl8812au directory as it will clash with the new one we'll download:
cd ~/SRC
mv rtl8812au rtl8812au-NOPE
Clone the new repo from aircrack-ng:
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo apt install bc build-essentials -y #just prereq installs
Use their handy dkms setup script:
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
* dkms status
On my system (I've grepped just the relevant results, your kernel will
be different) this looks like:
comrade@drone:~/SRC/rtl8812au$ dkms status | grep coldwar
nvidia, 440.82, 5.6.0-pf2-coldwar+, x86_64: installed
rtl8812au, 5.6.4.2, 5.6.0-pf2-coldwar+, x86_64: installed
zenpower, 0.1.10, 5.6.0-pf2-coldwar+, x86_64: installed
zfs, 0.8.3, 5.6.0-pf2-coldwar+, x86_64: installed
Pretty much the same as before, but note the much higher revision number
for the driver (5.6.4.2 vs 4.2.2). Now all of this worked perfectly for
me but please bear in mind I don't have the actual wifi unit and am
working blind so who knows how it will go with the real one. Let's find
out I guess?
Finally, I'd just leave it in place and reboot the whole box to see what
happens on login. If you don't have an available wifi network device pop
up as usual then we're back to examining what went wrong and examining
the options.
Fingers crossed, this one looks more promising.
Good luck chief.
