Solve the problem of installing Tenda U12 wireless network card driver on Centos7

Solution process:

Method 1:

The default kernel version of CentOS7.3 is lower, which is 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64.

Whether you use the driver provided by Tenda or the driver on github (link https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au), you need to upgrade the kernel.

The author tried upgrading the kernel (to 4.1.8), installing modules (8812au.ko), etc., and did it several times and spent several nights, but in the end, failed.

Method 2:

Replaced CentOS7.3 with Ubuntu 18.04.3;

After installing Ubuntu, reboot, the system reports an error message "no such partition" and enters grub rescue.

Refer to https://itsfoss.com/solve-error-partition-grub-rescue-ubuntu-linux/ to solve the problem;

Then copy the driver downloaded from GitHub (https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au) to the USB drive and unzip it.

Then enter the unzipped directory and execute the following command

$ make
$ sudo insmod 8812au.ko

At this time, click the upper right corner of the screen and select Wireless Network, you can see that many Wi-Fi networks have been successfully displayed! Chicken jelly!

Continue executing the following command:

$ sudo cp 8812au.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
$ sudo depmod

Click the wifi you want to connect to, enter the password, and the connection is successful. ping 223.5.5.5 , success!

reboot Restart the machine. After restart, WiFi can be connected automatically. Great!
