ALFA AWUS1900 Driver Install Help - Raspberry Pi OS

Raspberry Pi OS Raspbian Linux

***Tested and working method as of May 2023.***

Pi Terminal uname -a


First lets check for updates and install them in terminal by copying and pasting the following:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
***Terminal will probably ask to reboot, this is ok.***
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers
git clone -b v5.6.4.2 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl*
sudo make dkms_install

The following error will probably occur.
Raspberry Pi Terminal AWUS1900 driver install error
To fix this we will need to edit the boot config by doing the following:
sudo su
cd /boot

nano config.txt

Pi terminal boot nano config.txt

 

Add the following line just under [pi4]:
arm_64bit=0
Pi terminal nano

Then hit "Ctrl + o, Enter" to write out the file.

Then hit "Ctrl + x" to exit the config file.

 

After exiting the config file we will need to reboot. This can be done by typing the following in terminal:
sudo reboot

 

Next install the driver by copying and pasting the following in terminal:
cd rtl8812au
sudo make dkms_remove
sudo make dkms_install
sudo reboot
