svpcom/rtl8812au vs. aircrack-ng/rtl8812au

Could you please help me understand the benefit of using your driver instead of aircrack's? Is there a significant difference?

Thanks

I use my fork of rtl8812au for my own needs (to work with wfb-ng). It based on v5.2.20 and included some fixes and improvements for packet injection that are unavailable in aircrack driver. You can see all my commits in commit log

Presumably you PRed those fixes and improvements back to the source you forked from, so most of them will soon be in the Air Crack copy too?

I spent last night trying to get my RTL8812au working. In my regular laptop. If you have fixes, as opposed to things specific to WFB-ng, it would be great if the wifi driver were fixed for everyone, not just WFB-ng users.

Ordinary users don't need packet injection and power boosting which wfb-ng uses. Without additional active cooling it will destroy your card very fast.

[XBeg9]

But aircrack-ng has power boosting, or did you do something different?

Only in 5.2.20. All newer versions have it broken
