Problem with Alpa Network Card (monitor mode)

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Well. I’m trying to install my Alpa AUWS036ACH and it has worked on all my other systems that don’t run EOS.
I’m using the rtl8812au driver as you should but linux-headers 6.12.8.arch1-1 doesn’t seem to be suitable for this.
This card works fine when it comes to connecting to networks etc, but what I need is to put it in monitor mode, but that’s where it all goes wrong: julle@HaxBox rtl8812au]$ sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

iv been try to install the drivers with different methods but the method I used on previous systems has been via git but it doesn’t work here, when I run make I get this:

julle@HaxBox rtl8812au]$ cd /home/julle/Downloads/rtl8812au
make
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/6.12.4-arch1-1/build M=/home/julle/Downloads/rtl8812au modules
make[1]: Going to directory "/home/julle/Downloads/rtl8812au"

[julle@HaxBox rtl8812au]$ sudo pacman -S linux-headers=6.12.4-arch1-1
[sudo] password for julle:
error: Could not find target linux-headers=6.12.4-arch1-1

Some one know what to do?

I think there is extra “=” on your command. Try removing it.

?
Do you think about sudo pacman -S linux-headers=6.12.4-arch1-1 if it is it, can tell it is in to get det kernel headers, without it i get :

[julle@HaxBox rtl8812au]$ sudo pacman -S linux-headers 6.12.4-arch1-1 varning: linux-headers-6.12.8.arch1-1 är senaste versionen -- återinstallerar fel: Kunde inte hitta målet 6.12.4-arch1-1

There is an AUR package you could try instead. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git

yay -S rtl8812au-dkms-git
