I suggest that you try this package instead; with a working internet connection by ethernet, tethered or whatever means possible:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/bits3rpent/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.git
cd rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8812au
