Need Testers: New in-kernel (mac80211) driver for rtl8821au, rtl8811au and rtl8821ae chipsets.

New in-kernel (mac80211) driver for rtl8821au, rtl8811au and rtl8821ae chipsets.
Information about testing is located at:
That is Issue 133 in the 8821au repo here at this site. That issue will be used for testing and reporting. The first message shows the location of the driver. The supported chipsets have been popular with Linux users for several years.
The intent is to upstream the driver to the Linux kernel once it is ready. There is nothing like Plug and Play adapters that work well. Please help if you can. I have been testing managed and monitor mode today and the results are good. We need to test rigorously.
HOT: All devs currently only have adapters with rtl8811au chips. We need Linux users with rtl8821au and rtl8821ce chips.
My TP Link T2Uv3 (USB ID 0bda:c811) should be qualified for testing? And which kernel version I need to use to test?
Hi @fakemanhk
(USB ID 0bda:c811) should be qualified for testing?
We can certainly use your help testing but I need to give you a different link than the one above. You adapter uses the rtl8821cu chipset which uses a different driver than the one shown in the subject but it just so happens we already have an updated version of the driver for your chipset that needs testing also. The driver is located at:

Follow the instructions in the README.
Below is the location of the issue where you should report bugs or suggestions:
And which kernel version I need to use to test?
5.4 or later. If using 6.2 or later, you will need to blacklist the driver that is already in the kernel.
