I find it very sad that we need an alternative driver for the same
device... I've applied, but it would be good to see if this package
could replace the existing rtl8821au package.

Also, I'm confused about the naming: rtl8812au vs. rtl8821au. Are they
for the same hardware ?

I wish there was more effort to push such drivers in the upstream
kernel...

Best regards,

Thomas
